You should move out when you can support yourself or when you are over 18 and refuse to help around the house or go to school.

A lot of Parents do not set an age for when a child should move out. Rule some parents may use is when you can not respect me or your dad it is time for you to go.Then ask how long will it take you to go. Then assist you in accomplishing that day if you do then all that can be said is you have my Blessing and Come Visit as often as you want. Get With the Program of being am adult. Like Most of us Parents taught us

There is no set perfect age. It is up to you and your parents and depends on your circumstances. If you are going to school instead of getting a job right away, then you may not be able to afford to move as quickly. I see no problem with staying at home if the parents have no problem with it.
I moved out they day I turned 18 and haven't been back since. That is what was best for my situation.

I will be moving out as soon as i turn 18 which is in a couple of months. I hate the fact that my older brothers and sisters dont feel the need to gain independence, i know my brother is financially unstable at 22 so i understand that, but my sister earns a lot and her boyfriend lives with us.
I will be doing it not because my mum is to controlling or protective, but because i love independence, i will be able to financially support myself and am ready emotionally too.

When you are ready. Some parents like for their kids to stay around, so as long as your not married then what's the point? If you have a good relationship with them and you guys are all happy being together then stay with them. It's a great money saver too, so that you can plan for your futer. The more you save up the less you have to worry about when it's time to flee the nest.
By the way it's easier for your parents to help you while your their, than it is for them to try and pay your bills and theirs.

While you are living at home, save every penny you can to buy a house. I told
my son to do that. I didn't want him throwing his money away by paying rent on an apartment. He did that. When he was 21 he bought his first house. It was old and he fixed it up and sold it. Bought another house and fixed up that
one and sold it. He now owns his third house and paid cash for the whole thing. He has no mortgage. He is 27 years old. If he can do it, so can you.
He now has an investment and is not having to pay any rent.

I don't think it's age. I think it's more situation and maturity. I'm almost 20 and I still live with my parents. But I'm in college and am not home much. It's going to take a while for me to be able to support myself, so until I get at least a running start with a steady job, I'm living at home. (though i would start questioning things if you're in your 30's and not doing anything to help yourself and are just mooching...)

It depends on your culture I guess. I'm 21 and live at home and go to school. I help around the house, cleaning, cooking, yard work, not because I have to but because I want to. Any way, generally Mexican girls,(I'm Mexican American), stay at home until they are married. This makes sense I suppose, I wont get married until I finish my education, and I'll be mature and ready for my own place then.

only when you are both ready to let go & you are aware & ready to be proactive to such things as paying bills, Saving money & being a good parent to yourself... life comes at you really hard & fast once you are on your own...You will always be their child... but- also, they will always be your PARENTS, and should always be treated with the utmost honor & respect for the care and lessons they have provided for you so far.. with all these thoughts in mind and heart- go for it. I was ready at about 30...but really thought i was alot smarter than them at....17... hind sight is 20/20... don't lose their base or respect for you... ever!! there's no do overs!

I moved out just before my 18th birthday to go to college, but my parents helped support me for a while after that. I think it really is an individual decision, so long as you are in school or working towards another career goal, and are contributing positively to the household.
If you're going to stay after the age of 18, I advocate helping with some of the financial expenses, even if you start small. And clean up after yourself!
