Are you still sharing that flat?
Yes, but I am saving for a place of my own.
Living with my parents is comfortable, but I would like a place of my own.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I want a place on my own.
Say: I want a place of my own.
The fixed phrase uses “of my own,” not “on my own,” when talking about ownership.
