i felt the same way when i was your age. And up until this year (im 17) my parents finally explained to me why theyd rather me stay at home. I do work and ive worked since i was 15, but i skipped my senior year of high school and went straight into college. They know im independent and could live on my own, but they see what has happened to all my friends who didnt go to school and are trying to make ends meet. They are all working two jobs now at 19-22 years of age to be able to pay for groceries and rent. My paretns refuse to let this happen to me. I work with my dad and i save my money. I have free living space, free credit card that i use for emergencies, free food, free gas for my truck, and a free cellphone bill, free cable, free gym membership, all i pay for is when i go shopping so i do learn money management and how to save up. Living at home has taught me so much more then if i had moved out. I have complete freedom to come and go. I have finally realized how much my parents are actually there for me and want to be there for me and i have come to appreciate so much more in my life. Now i do not recommend moving out at 18 to anyone. My boyfriend is almost 21 and he is still living at home as well. We're both saving up to move out together in about five years, until then we are both growing up together with our families.

Live your life for now, dont worry about 3 years down the line. Most children that have everything being paid for them by their parents are pleased. I was the 16 year old working at CVS and moved out at 17 with my boyfriend. I didn't know that was the biggest mistake of my life, although I did get a great child out of it and major money problems.

Do you know if you'll really be ready to move out? Things change over the years. Have you talked to them about his? If you are desperate to get a job, then just tell then why. Tell them you want some money for yourself, and you want to make that money for yourself, by yourself. You need to interact with your parental units. Talk to them. Tell them whats up. Maybe they'll understand. But also keep in mind, that not all parents want to see their kid grow up and move out. Be gentle, don't make any one cry, and don't give them the idea that your sick of them and need your own space. Tell them that you think you'll be ready, and that 18 is when you begin to become an adult and that you will want to have your own world.
I hope I helped.
Cheers!☺

Three years to wait: a lot can happen. In three years, you will learn about the cost of livng and your job prospects. These are the things your parents are concerned about now. They worry that you won't want to further your education but instead, live from paycheck to paycheck without the money to pay for a doctor if you catch a cold. These are legitimate concerns, believe me. They love you too much not to worry - this is a good thing.

Are you planning on going to college? If so, I am sure they will pay for it and you can move out at the same time and live in the dorms. By then you'll be able to have a job and live on them and pass school to make a better life and future for yourself. Take care of yourself now and slow down.. things will work out.

Wow I have trouble planning what to do on the weekends and your trying to plan 3 years ahead, I am sorry but you have too much time and school to worry about know.
However, remember if you join any of the Armed Forces, you are out of the house and going to College take care of your self and your time. Use it to plan what you want to do not just the quickest way out. And for Gods sake have Fun on your 3-year vacation.

You might be able to get yourself set up in a work program through school. Maybe have one of your teachers talk to your parents about how important it is to learn the responsibility of having a job and saving money. Maybe they will come around.

Why do you want to move out at 18? Trust me, if you are allowed to stay at home, don't move out it won't be as easy as you think. My mom made me leave home when I was 16 because she didn't want kids anymore, and it was very hard.

Well, Try to talk to your parents about it tell them you need $$$ to move out when you get older and have to start living out on your own. If this fails try to sell your stuff on E-bay or have a garage sell, OR prove to your parents you can handle a job.... in other words show you deserve everything you have{carry your weight}, OR try to get involved in your school there should be something or someone who can help you!,.Try to get a baby-sitting job or help someone with house work it may be a pain but if you are set on moving at 18 you will do whatever it takes !!!!!!
I Hope I helped you out!,
