Hi dear friends, how is your day going on? Yesterday I was reading a very interesting article that more and more Americans are living alone and 25% of all households in the USA are made up of just one person. This is dramatic change from the extended families of just a couple generations ago. In fact, a quarter of the 23 million single people in the US are under the age 35. Majority of these people have chosen to live alone. They are responding to decreasing social pressure to get married and have a family. It’s now social acceptable, even chic to live alone. However people who do get married are marrying at a later age and divorcing more often. The number of reasons given by most people for living alone is that they simply enjoy doing what they want when they want to do it. Children think that being grown up means being able to do exactly as they please. It seems that many grownups today are living out that childhood dream. The chance to discover whether that freedom is as wonderful as it sounds is a chance more and more Americans are taking. Are you living alone? And what is your opinion about this matter? Enjoy your day
