What is the right age to move out?

Question

things have chaged since a few years ago, in my mums generation people want to be out at 16 fending for themselfs.

i'm 25 (nearly 26) and still @ home with my parents, its like i'm on my own though cos i have the house to myself most times, but yeah with UK house prices sky-high at the moment at what age would you say is the right time to move?

am i sad *beeeeep* or what?

Answer 1

It really varies from one persons situation to the next.My brother technically never moved out of my parents home.He did buy a mobile home and place it on their property when he was in his early twenties.It came in handy that he was so close when dad got sick,and it was even better when mom started going downhill.Fast forward 7 years,mom has since passed on too.Well,now,my brother lives back in the family home,and I now live in the mobile home.Financially,it is easier on us because we split the mortgage (mom and dad left us totally unprepared as far as a will was concerned).My brother is 34,and I am 38.We now take care of the farm,and all it's problems with it.But like I said,it depends on your situation.If you are just living with your parents because you don't want to work,then yeah,your a bum.If you live with them because you don't want to be alone,but you pull your share,then don't sweat it.It is up to you,and you will know what is right for you.

Answer 2

There's no certain age limit on when u should move out. Some are on their own as soon as they graduate highschool and go off to college in the fall. Others wait until they're in their 20's, now if ur in ur 30's then u may seem to look sad unless u r caring for an ill family member then it would be ok...
lol

Make sure that u r financially set b4 heading out on ur own...
rather it be by urself or u choose to get a roommate and split the costs to rent/buy...

Not really sure how to answer since the market is definitely different from location to location. even here in the states..

Best Wishes and Good Luck in ur quest for freedom!!!! LOL

Answer 3

there became right into a time, back interior the 1950's whilst the age became into 18, and then it became into decreased to 17, and then sixteen in some states. Now, the numbers instruct that it as quickly as back might ought to be raised to 18. yet, that's something which will take years to put in place. yet, the insurance for a sixteen and 17 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous drivers ought to get so "out of sight" that the person-friendly kin only isn't waiting to arise with the money for it, and which will shop greater young little ones off the line.

Answer 4

I moved out at the age of 19. I think it depends on your circumstances. I would be happy to live with my parents too if we all got along but that was not the case. In order to have a life I had to move out.

If you can't afford to rent a place then save up until you are ready financially. The benefits of moving out are good and well worth it. The individual has to decide why they are moving out. In my time it was easier to afford a rental but now it seems a lot harder so no you are not a "beeeeep" at all.

Answer 5

Well, I certainly think you are old enough to move out. Most of the time by 25 you need your privacy and need more independence.
Start doing research and pricing apartment and see if you can afford to move out or not. Start saving your money and getting ready.
I am sure your parents love you but I wouldn't want my 25 year old child still living with me.

Answer 6

There is no set age. It depends on what you can find as far as living arrangements and how finacially stable you are. I've been living alone since 3 weeks after my 18th birthday. I first moved in with 2 friends and now have a home of my own. Save your money...that's all I can say!

Answer 7

Don't feel bad. I'm 24 and all the people that I went to school with are either still living with their parents or married into money with 6 kids. It's our economy. I thought it was just in the US. My husband, my two kids, and I all lived with my In-Laws (my favorite people!) for about a year until we were able to afford a house. Don't give up. :)

Answer 8

Well, it seems that you are seeing that most of your peers are probably out on their own and this is reasonable no matter how comfortable it is at home. If you are working a steady job , and not in school or traveling 90 percent of the time you should have your independence and give your parents theirs.

Answer 9

No, you are not a "sad beeeep, or what", as long as you are working to improve your conditions by attending school, or working to increase your skills on the job for promotions, etc, which will one day enable you to move out on your own.

If you sit on the couch all day long and watch TV, or just hang out with friends, don't work or try to improve your conditions, then yes, you are a sad, beeeep, or what.

In todays world costs have skyrocked, the population is exploding, and housing is no longer as easy to afford. As the ecconomy tightens, and illegal immagrants take jobs they claim no citizen will work, (which is a lie) entry level job are a thing of the past, young adults attending higher education only do so if they have wealthy parents or are dirt poor and get free government money, etc.

Conditions are poorer than in many past generations. Also, add to this how a nuclear family now must have both parents working which cause children to not be properly supervised, doing God knows what for hours on end, usually up to no good, not given proper chores, not taught family responsibility, and how to be a good community citizen, they are now believing their are "owed" a living and a free ride, and if they don't get it they just rob, steal, and murder for it.

Things have changed since our parents and grandparents were teens and ready to go out into the world at much younger ages. They didn't have it easy, they had to work for what they wanted, they were taught responsibility, work ethics, family duty, how to honor oneself, and have good self esteem.

Until and if we move back to teaching our children all these things and more, we will continue to see generations born who are lazy and useless burdens on society, or criminals at worst.

So, once again, if you are doing all you can to increase your ability to get out on your own, saving money, attending school, or trade school, or just focusing on gaining job experiance in order to move up in your field of choice, you are fine.

If you are doing all of the above, well, the good stuff above,not the bad, lol, then there isn't a certain age where you should move out. When you feel the time is right you will do so. However, if you are not improving yourself, then you need to get the heck out of your parents home, or start improving yourself so you are not a burden to them. It is a parents job to teach their children how to be self relient. If for whatever reason your parents failed to do so, it is still now your responsibility to teach yourself these things. Once a child reaches their majority, the parents are off the hook, even if they did a poor job.

We are adults when we take responsibility for ourselves and stop blaming our parents for our own current conditions. We, as adults, have the power to affect change in our lives, and our personal growth.

So, one more time, if you are working to improve yourself, are paying room and board, paying your way even a little, while preparing to go out on your own, you are fine. If not, you need to start. There are a great many ways to improve oneself, and to get ahead in life. The longer a person sits around is that much longer they are stuck in a situation that is not right.

I am NOT saying your situation is not right, only that you need to be contributing to the household, improving your skills, getting higher education, or go into the military. The military can teach the discipline that youth did not receive from parents. It is a good option for some, but not everyone. It also offers out benifits like the option of tuition for higher education, and teaches skills, raises self esteem and confiidence.

If you feel stuck, do something to change it before your life is more entreched in the current situation.

I think you are nearly ready to move out or you wouldn't be asking this question. There are plenty of opportunities for room mating with others. It is a good way to get out the door, out on your own, share the expenses, and when you can afford it a place of your own.

Good luck and I wish you a happy holiday season.
