It was really tough time for me and I believe quite many people have had same experience. Thought, I still consider the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages. The most important thing is , they should be done like those experience that money problem or spend tough time. Because people can not stay with their parents forever, they should have experience and should know how to solve those problems while young age. What is more, it improves their life skills. In my own case, when I stared to live alone, I could not make any food, did not know how to wash my clothes and could not calculate the cost of living.
