My father is a loon. I love him to death, but he is too over protective.

I would suggest you to live in your parents home until you are stable enough to care for yourself. I don't mean live with them til' your twenty five or thirty. I mean get a job as soon as you can, put money into a savings account ( to save up money when it is time to leave), while in their home provide for yourself, and decide where and how far you want to go before you walk out the door. I'm a mother and even though there are times I say " can't wait til' you move out" I would never throw her out. She will always have a key to our door. I will also say I wouldn't want her to move out as soon as she graduated High School. I would like to know that she is ready and has a goal in life before she leaves. Maybe that sounds over protective, but I don't want to see my child out on the streets. Look around! Everyday, everywhere, That is all you see anymore. I don't want mine to be one of them.

No matter how loony your father is, you will regret it.
Stay at home, save your money, and move out only once you are able to afford your own house.
Renting is throwing your money out the window. Buying a home is an investment that come back to you in the end. Save now while you are living at home and have less expences. It will be a lot harder to save if you live alone and have bills to pay.

I think it is unwise to leave so early in life, mainly due to immaturity and finances.
You have your entire life ahead of you to be an adult, pay rent, buy food, etc.
Why rush things?
I don't know what you mean by your father being a "loon", like looney????

Same issue here. Dicuss it with him and let him know what your concerns are. If you think you can be out on your own and finanacially stable, then go for it and move out. See if your dad can loosen up and make some compromises with him.

Only if you are able to support yourself, pay your bills, buy your clothes, buy your food, pay your car payment and your insurance. It's a pretty tall order.
