Should an unmarried working class lady still continue to live with her folks when she can afford to rent a place of her own?


In our world today, there are a lot of unmarried ladies who have well
paying jobs or at least earn a good salary and can afford to stay on
their own but are still staying in their folks place. But for our
culture which makes it desirable for a lady's suitors to come for her
hand in marriage in her folks place, many would have sought to live on
their own due to the freedom that comes with it.

The reality of the times makes this ideal no longer realistic cos many 
unmarried ladies now find themselves living alone and far apart from their 
folks for various reasons. This could be for such reasons as getting a job outside of
the city where their folks are staying or they may want to be closer
to their work place due to transportation costs and efficiency, or
they may want to escape their folks meddling in their affairs;
especially if they start facing pressures to get married having come
of age.

Well, for any unmarried single lady contemplating leaving her
parent's place to stay alone should bear in mind the societal perception
of such a lady as being loose and as such cannot attract the right
kind of men to herself by so doing.

Well, I think the way round it is for such a lady wishing to stay by
herself should at least get a very close friend or relative of hers to stay 
with her as her roommate. This will serve two purposes; it will dispel this 
loose lady perception and the roomie would also serve as a restraint against 
her excesses since her parents who could have played that role are not close by. 
What are your thoughts on this?
