What kind of housing/accommodation do you live in?
For the past 21 years I have lived in a house with my family. And I think if I can
move out and start making a living on my own, I would try my best to have an
independent place where I can plan and design a house layout to suit myself
since sharing a room or a flat with strangers sounds so troublesome to me.
