I'm 22 years old. I'm going to be 23 next month. I'm ready to move out on my own and run my OWN life. I'm not getting anywhere living under mommy and daddys roof. My life is mess up right now, because of it. I'm in college, but I'm not going to stop going. I get about $812.00 a month. I also get paid from school, but that's only 2 times a semester. But, the thing I'm worried about is my family. They are going to try there hardest to STOP me from moving out. I want to do it without them knowing. Is that bad or good? That is the only way I can do it. My parents need to let me go now, don't you think?

Know how you feel totally. I went and found a place, signed for it and that is when my dad found out. I was driving to sign for my apartment and he called and asked where I was and I told him. I was also going to school at the time and he said that I would just drop out, which I did not do and am still going. He also said I could not handle it and would miss rent payments and come crying back home. Well I have a really good paying job who is also paying for my schooling so I never missed a payment. Sure I had some issues at time to time but all my bills were paid on time. Just do it. My dad even helped me move into my apartment after trying to talk me out of doing it!
Go for it BUT ONLY if you can afford ALL the bills.

I don't know where you live but around here $812.00 a month MIGHT pay your rent and that's IT. There are also other bills to be paid, heating, electric, phone, water, sewer, garbage, cable, Internet. There are car payments, car insurance payments medical expenses and of course groceries. I don't understand how you can get paid from school...that I'm trying to figure out. Unless you are talking about a student loan or "trust" fund but student loans HAVE to be paid back and trust funds usually have contingencies that have to be complied with in order to receive them. Maybe you're moving out will end the money from school.

23, absolutely, your parents are just worried about your safety. Mom and Dad need to cut the umbilical cord and give you a chance to be a responsible adult.
Do what ever you can to leave the nest with their blessing. It will be easier if you have to return home. It is real scary at first. Try to find a compatible girlfriend.

Yes they do need to let you go. So just go..you are almost 23! They need to realize that, and the way to show them is to take that first step out the door. Good luck!!!

I think you should just tell them youre old enough to make youre own decisions, and just move out. I know youre parents doest want to lose you so they are trying there best to hold on to you for as long as its possible.
So when you do it dont be harsh just explain to them how you feel.
I know it happened to me aswell, also 22 and moved out a month ago.
And trust me its soooo nice to be on youre own, no one to explain to why youre late and you just do anything you want.
GO 4 IT!!!!!

i do think its wrong to move out without letting your parents know abt it. they owe you an explanation.dont they? tell them that u need to move out and stay alone. u wana stand on your feet. u wana face life all by urself and u wil be safe. assure them and keep trying to convince them. best of luck
