When I was 24 my parents started to drop lots of hints. In fact they weren't even that subtle. Was a good age to leave. It's bound to be different for everyone. If you come home and all your stuffs outside on the pavement and the locks have been changed, you probably left it too long!

Well i left at 17, i now live with my in-laws and I'm leaving in a few weeks.
I think 25 is an OK age to leave home, the only thing that troubles people is that the cost of living is so high that it is getting harder to leave home, even if they want to.
It depend on circumstance really, but 41 seems extreme, has this person got no Independence?

My daughter is 28 and still lives at home with us. She has a professional job, nice car and loves to go abroad on holidays.She has a boyfriend who also still lives at home (he is 27).She spends her money on the above things and saves some as well. At the moment she is happy to continue this way and says that she will get her own house when she is ready. I think that as long as the situation suits everyone then there's no harm done.

Unfortunately, property prices in the UK mean that many people cannot afford to leave home. In some places, a 1 bed apartment costs upwards of £150,000. This means a person on the average £25,000 salary needs to have £50,000 saved to avoid taking on a mortgage more than 4x salary.

It really depends on the family. I've got a mate who's 28 and has only just moved out of his parents, and into his girlfriends parents, then there's my uncle who didn't move out till his mid-thirties. On the other hand, I moved out at 16, more down to circumstances than choice. So, in answer I'd say till they start dropping hints, I mean if you've got younger siblings still there and space isn't an issue then I'd imagine they wouldn't be to fussed, but I don't know your situation so that's just speculation. Play it by ear mate.

If your relationship is still loving and supportive, and they are ok with your being there, age doesn't make a difference. My 20 year old son is still going to school, and lives at home, works part time, and he keeps his parents life very interesting. At this point, I see him living at home indefinitely, and I have no problem with that.

my 20 yr old and 24 yr old are still here with me. I have a friend who also has a son still at home, and he is 26 this year.
cant see why parents have to have kids move out at a certain age.

Children should move out by their 19th birthday.
They should be capable of supporting themselves or find others their own age to live with, to share expenses.
In the event that parents become too old to help themself, then the child needs to invite the parents to live them, at the childs residence. The child should be prepared to pay 60 to 70% of the cost related to the parents living with them.

once you are old enough to rent a place and earn a good wage, then you shouldn't be living with mum and dad. If my marriage broke up I would rather go to my sisters than my mums. I also moved out at 19 but that was not soon enough for me!
