Often people talk about freedom and having their own independence.

Once that opportunity kicks in, we are puzzled and stuck.

A typical example would be when you decide to move out and live alone.

You never realises the impact, stress and strain it involves to pack up and move.

Having to rent could be the biggest headache you have to endure with independence.
