In recent times, especially with technology taking up our time to actually socialize, it gets harder and harder to meet neighbours and having a sense of belonging in a community.
Most of us really don't know who our neighbours are until a tragedy happens. It does a lot of good to take out the little time out of no time to bond with neighbours.
According to All Women Stalk, here are a few ways being friendly with your neighbours that could help you a lot:
1. They can help you with certain chores: Being good friends with your neighbour could help you solve your problem of chore splitting, especially when they are good with handy things like repairing damaged electronics or plumbing.
2. You can divide some expenses: Expenses like entertainment, going to watch a current movie in a cinema or getting fuel to watch football could come in handy if you are good friends with your neighbour. You get to find better deals to certain stuffs like travel and split costs.
3. New skills can be learnt: A skill learnt from your neighbour added to your list of hobbies or resume would look good for you. But that won't happen if you aren't friends with them.
4. Source of networking: In this technology age, networking is as important as anything. Knowing the right people could further your career. Imagine if your neighbour has really good contacts and you aren't cordial with him or her.
5. They allow certain privileges:Â Let's put it this way, an invited neighbour whom you are friejds with won't reject your invitation and maybe cause trouble because you are disturbing him with loud music.
6. They can be of great help: A project like felling a tree could be aided by a good neighbour if you are friends with them. They can also lend you essential items you need for certain jobs or domestic chores.
