10 Lifestyle Habits of TCKs

I’d like to know how many of those lifestyle habits are mine, and how many have been influenced by the TCK experience.

1. Monthly plans for everything. Phone, Cable TV, and Internet. There’s no way I’ll buy a 3-year plan.

2. Laptop instead of a bulky Desktop PC. It’s useful when you visit family overseas.

3. I prefer to rent furnished. The thought of buying furniture irks me.

4. I don’t heavily decorate my room. Why bother buying fancy curtains and repainting? I’ll move soon.

5. I prefer watching movies online than owning DVDs. No, I’m not a pirate!

6. I’m very frugal. The less stuff I own, the less tied down and happier I feel.

7. I borrow books whenever possible. Ever tried moving a library? It’s not fun - books are heavy!

8. My career is mobile. I like being able to decide where I want to work.

9. I don’t have a large wardrobe at home but I dress well.

10. I don’t own any large pets. But I can accommodate a cat. :)

Does anyone here identify with any of them?

    1. Monthly plans for everything. Phone, Cable TV, and Internet. There’s no way I’ll buy a 3-year plan. my phone is prepaid and the internet is my parents

    2. Laptop instead of a bulky Desktop PC. It’s useful when you visit family overseas. laptops are amazing.. && wireless to!

    3. I prefer to rent furnished. The thought of buying furniture irks me. I watch my parents trying to move all their furniture and laugh..

    4. I don’t heavily decorate my room. Why bother buying fancy curtains and repainting? I’ll move soon. My walls get covered with pictures and anything else that has special meaning to me that will stick to the wall with sticky tack

    5. I prefer watching movies online than owning DVDs. No, I’m not a pirate! yes… DVDs and CDs are really bulky..

    6. I’m very frugal. The less stuff I own, the less tied down and happier I feel. mhmm.. knowing that all your worldly possesions are in just a few bags.. it makes one feel free

    7. I borrow books whenever possible. Ever tried moving a library? It’s not fun - books are heavy! I have a lot of books.. mostly old journals!

    8. My career is mobile. I like being able to decide where I want to work. student..

    9. I don’t have a large wardrobe at home but I dress well. my wardrobe has been in two continents for almost a year. It’s all in the same city now but some is still in storage.. I really want to sort it all out.

    10. I don’t own any large pets. But I can accommodate a cat.
    No pets.. I detest them!
