Answer 1

You need to move out. Do not wait for a boyfriend to "save" you because you'll end up making the wrong decision on a guy, which leads to a whole new set of problems. These days it is CRITICAL for a woman (and I'm here to tell you that at 22, you ARE officially a "woman") to learn how to support herself and be independent. So move out...you don't have to go far from them. Perhaps the fact that you won't be far will bring them some comfort, but ultimately this is NOT THEIR decision, it is yours. Good luck!

Answer 2

at 22 you are old enough to be on your own (that's when I moved out, am now 23) but first you need to be sure that financially you will be ok - moving out is a huge financial responsibility and you don't want to have to ask you mom or dad for money to pay your bills so that's one thing you really need to be sure of before you start looking for a place. Second take your parents with you to look at apartments, they may feel better about you moving if they are involved in the whole process - that way they know that the place you are moving into is in good condition and in a neighborhood where you will be safe - and most importantly just because you move out on your own don't shun your parents away from you, keep them close because no matter what they are your parents and they love you

Answer 3

First don't try to fly until your sure you have wings. Meaning; make sure you can support yourself without living check to check. Most people that leave home for the first time don't realize how costly life on your own can be. Second, don't depend on the income of some other person to get you by. If you move in with a g/f or your b/f what's to say they won't leave later. However, don't expect your parents to flip the additional cost of you being on your own because that's just giving away money they could save with you in their house. In the meantime save all you can. Last of all if none of those apply to you just leave your 22 nobody can make you go back if you don't want too.

Answer 4

If at 22 yrs. old, you're asking us if you should move out, then I'm siding with your parents. And the reason is this: You're not capable of making wise decisions on your own.
If you want to convince anybody of anything, as the old saying goes "The proof is in the pudding." Start paying rent and utilities, either to your parents or into a savings account. Sit down with whichever parent pays the bills and learn from them. You'll need to understand how much it costs to live on your own. You'll need to keep a 3 month living expense account separately, in case of emergency (losing your current job, injury, economic change).
When you can maturely face all of these responsibilities, then perhaps your parents will help you find a nice house to invest in. Try to avoid renting, as it is very difficult to get far enough ahead to purchase a home later.

Answer 5

Don't wait for a boyfriend!!!! You are 22, you can make these decisions on your own. Your parents have no control over you. Maybe they feel you are not ready to move on your own. Are you working? Have you saved up any money? Are you responsible? Do you clean up after yourself? etc., etc. If you answer yes to these questions, then just look for a little place for yourself, maybe a studio not too far from them so they don't feel like you've moved too far. Good luck.

Answer 6

a boyfriend my dear, is not what you should be waiting for. if you're thinking about finding someone and then possibly moving in together i would advise aganist that. even though it seems to be the popular thing these days you could really find yourself with much bigger problems than you have now. the best thing to do is get a job if you don't have one start saving money. explain to your parents calmly and intelligently what you want to do and BE PATIENT cause once your out you are out. you will never have the benefits of where you are now again and trust there are benefits take time to think this one over. GOD BLESS girl!

Answer 7

IF you have a job, going to school and are making enough to survive on you own and desperately want to leave do it.

Explain to them how you feel and why you want to move.

My sister is 28 still living with my parents because she moved out to live with boyfriends and obviously it did not work out, so having a boyfriend is not the key to moving out on your own.

Save your money while you are living with your parents, because once you leave it will never be the same when and if you go back.


Good Luck!

Answer 8

Sweetie it's not easy out here on your own but no man wants a woman that still lives at home with mommy and daddy cause then they might think like i do on men living at home with mommy and daddy that they just might be a mommies boy and no one wants a mommies boy i know that i wont have one and that's why I'm not married yet I'm 40 years old now and never married and I've been on my own since i was 17 years old and it's hard out they on your own in this cruel world so need to make up your own mind no one can do it for you.

Answer 9

What you are really gonna have to do is talk to your parents. Prove to them that you are and will be responsible when you get your own place. If you haven't proved to them that you are responsible start proving it right now. The only reason that most parents don't want their children to move out is because they don't feel that their children are mature or responsible enough. So go up to them and talk to them. Find out the reason why they don't want you to move out and try to show them the positive things you have done and get their minds off the negative. They've gotta let you grow up one day, even though they don't want to!!!

Answer 10

You are at the right age but your parents are so over protective about you which is normal for a loving parents!Aside from that you are a girl,and considered you as very vulnerable!But if you insist and want to be independent,they can't force you to stay,just try to have a vacation and continue leaving them as you exit from your home gracefully and soon they will understand and accept that you are already matured and you can handle everything!Good luck!
