When is the right time to move from home?

[gunstsings]

Like the title of this thread says, im wondering when is time to move from home, from where you live with your parents and start living your live on your own powers.

I am 23 years old and still live with my father and my two younger sisters, and i was wondering for a while if i should move from home and rent a place on my own.

I work and also attending the university in the same city, si i did not had to commute from home for school, i guess thats the main reason i lived with my parents until now.

So what time do you think is appropriate for a child to fly from home? And if you already live by yourself what are the circumstance you do so?

Although I haven't moved from home my parents and other adults in my life say that you should have not only a stable income but you should scope out the area where you'd like to move. Do some apartment hunting IN your city first. Because it's harder to live farther away. Especially when you need help. You should find somewhere close to home yet far enough to not be bothered. My two older brothers live in the state of Minnesota but close enough that we're a twenty minute drive away if they need help. My advice is until you're sure you can handle the responsibilities of having your own place, (not saying that you're not responsible but it's hard you know) you should stay close.

yeah, i can understand what you are saying
i have a stable income, and is nice since i can spend it on a lot of stuff, and i think that living alone will bring a lot of new stuff in my life, since we you live tougher you share chores, and i dont have to do the ones i dont like, i can be spoiled

Hmm well I'm a teenager and I suppose my view isn't really that legit, but for me I've always thought that when I go to University I'll move (whether to Res. or an Apartment I don't know) but this may be because I won't go to University where my family lives. I like the idea of having responsiblity and to me, moving out is a big part of that- it's one more step up in life much like getting your ID or driver's license. Hopefully that makes sense :)

well in my country there's no concept of moving out of your parents house until you're married or decide to rebel against your parents... even after marriage, some boys may settle along with their family in their parents home as that is regarded as a more devoted and loving way to live your life (cz when parents get old u can support them and all) ....
but in a way, i don't like this idea/ tradition of Pakistan... youngsters need to be independent to learn to handle responsibilities and live on their own. parents here have to pay for their children's fees till they complete their studies and only some children are courteous enough to do a part time job to help their parents... so it's really annoying too but cant be helped as it's a custom here and if you leave your parents, in my country you would only be viewed as a rebellious and disobedient child

same situation here XD. there's no concept of moving from home.... unless..... you are sent to hostel to study.... and that is also done by family..... only if they want they can send their child away from home..... for many good students cant even study in their desired institution because they are far from their residence......
And to leave home i think people should be economically independent.... and there are no opportunity for a student to earn their livelihood..... as graduation is must to get a job.... and even .... after you are graduated you cant live alone.... as girls are not allowed to live alone in the society..... they must have a family..... so parents get their children married off......

It depends on what you want,do you feel like you're ready to move from home and where do you work and study.

My parents live in Plovdiv (the second biggest city in my country) and I live and study in Sofia (the capital).They're paying for everything but they don't spoil me,I don't have money that I can just waste.I am rather responsible actually,I buy only what I need the most.Used to live with 2 boys and a girl (she didn't come much though).Had many arguments with the guys who didn't clean the appartament and I wasn't their maid.Even after I cleaned,they entered with their shoes or didn't clean after they ate and simple things like that which meant that they didn't respect the fact that I cleaned and I wasn't their made,it just pissed me off.They also told me that I shouldn't take so many showers which is ridiculous,mostly during the summer when it's extremely hot and unlike them I cannot come home and go to bed without taking a shower.This is just disgusting.
So I moved out of that appartament in July and now I'll live with a friend from uni (one of the nicest people I met).This makes me feel a lot better but we'll be like married,together all the time.I hope that we won't get into fights and it's different living with a girl who pays attention at the hygiene,cooks,has great music taste and so on.
As long as you find the right person to live with (or maybe you prefer living alone?) I think that it'll be ok. Living far away from your parents teaches you to be more independent and responsbile but I agree that you must live near someone you can rely on.I might not live in the city where my parents live but my uncle and his family live in Sofia too so I can visit them anytime I want,I can call them if I'm sick and I need some kind of help etc.

If you get along well with your parents in the same house and that they aren't imposing anything on you (such as no-boyfriend rule, go-to bible-school-every-weekend kind of bullshit or anything like it), I say stay with'em. It's hard a for a 23 year old to make a life out there in this age. We aren't living in 70s or 80s anymore where you can enjoy your disco funk dance and experiment with money and live in the la-la land with your pals --finding a job is getting more and more difficult, let alone making a family of your own or maintaining your friendships for the long term. In fact, it's best not to bring any child to this world any longer, it'll just end up adapting to worst conditions to come in near future. A lot of young people commit suicide nowadays.

I am sorry for my pessimistic writing, but this is in fact called critical realism. We are living in mad times due to our parents' mistakes and foolish beliefs. Everything from now on is a gamble for the young. There is no such a thing as "age-appropriate decision-making" in this age;

...But again... if you can't get along with your parents in the same house...never give up on your freedom for a golden cage. Even in your last breath.
