At what age did you or will you move out from your parents' house?

I don't think what you're doing is all that bad because I'm sure you're saving money all the time that you'd otherwise be using to pay rent. Good for you. I'm 23 and I still live with my parents. My fiance and I are both still living at home (although she's still 22 until next month) and we're saving money until we get married next year. I think it's a good plan because we're saving money for marriage and spending time with our families at the same time. We won't be with our families as much after we get married only because we'll be living with one another. I think you have good ideas about staying at home for now. I know I'm so glad I can save money and not pay for rent. I think a good age to move out depends on the person because some people live with their parents until they're 40 or 50 even. I knew a couple people like this. There was nothing wrong with it. They just never married and got old enough that they gave up kind of and they started taking care of their parents once they got older. Maybe you could see yourself doing something like that, although I know most people want to get married, get out of their parents' house, and see what life is all about. It could go either way.

Hello! I am fifteen and still live with my parents. I think that almost everybody, at this age, lives with their parents. No matter where you are from, I believe that the lowest age in which you can be considered an adult is at your 16s. I do not know if I am going to move away when I make 18. Usually, here in Brazil, the sons and daughters keep living with their parents until they marry. Sometimes, even after they get married! I plan to stablish a family and move away, to somewhere near here, so I can keep visint my parents. Well, I guess that, if I get to your age and keep single, then I won't want to move away. Living alone gives you freedom, but it also has its downsides. Depending on the person, the downsides are worse than the upsides, so they keep together with their parents. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I was kicked out of the house when I was 13 yrs old....LOL what more is there to say really *shrugs*..It was hard but I managed..

Hello,wnb!I am an Indian and we Indians like to live together even at old age and support the family financially and serve our old parents and other elderly persons in the family.in the old age the parents would be requiring our support and it is obligatory on power to give them support.but sorry as i was a government servant i had to remain outside home all the time i had to shift my family at the age of 35 and since than i have been staying away from other family members.i am no more to worry for my parents since they are no more in this world.thank you.

I moved out at the age of 18 i moved in with my then boyfriend but i was 3 months pregnant at the time and we decided we wanted to live together and bring our child up together. I think you should move out when you feel ready to.

Well I was a bit foolish when I was younger, I was headstrong, wilful and did not want to be told what to do and so I left home when I was seventeen. As it turned out it was the worst thing I ever did and I regret it very strongly, but there is nothing I can do about it now and this was 17 years ago. I would say to you age has nothing to do with it, I have told my children they can stay with me as long as they want, I do not want them to move out from home until they are 100% ready and able to do so without having to struggle. You may be grown up but there is no rush to leave home until you are ready no matter what age you are.

It's up to you. If you're comfortable living with your parents, go for it. Just save so one day you can move out :) I'm 18 and I plan to be moved out before September. I don't get along very well with my parents so I think I'm better off living on my own. So I'm hoping to get a place somewhere with my boyfriend if we're still together. (knock on wood!)

I moved out when I was 21. I think it is different for females. People don't tend to look down at you if you are still living with your parents. When I finally moved out of mother's house, I left the state and moved south to Georgia. Society in the States tend to wonder why a guy would still be living home with mama. They need to spread their wings and be independant. I lived with my mother because I couldn't afford to get a place of my own. However, when she started charging me rent for my own room that used to be free, I decided to leave the state. I moved into a boarding house when I got to Atlanta. It's always nice living under your own rules. It took awhile to be able to afford to rent a one bedroom apartment but I did. Being raised in the States I never thought of buying or even renting a house at such a young age. People just didn't do that where I lived. Most people waited till they were 40 years old before they even thought about buying a house. Times change, now it seems that people in their 20's expect a house but most can't afford to buy one. It takes a long time to come up with the 20% down required, especially these days. With the mortgage crisis it will be even harder to get a mortgage if a person really can't afford it.

i movbed out when i was 16 because me n my mam weren't getting on and i totally regret it now i wishes i'd stayed for longer

I dont want to leave in my parents house not because I want to stay there because of their but I want be there always when their getting old,If the time comes that I need to separate I will make sure that I will visit them always,but for now I want stay with them.

I moved out when I was 20, whilst I was at university.

I moved out when I was 17 but recommend staying home as long as your comfortable.

i rather stay with my parents than go out there now that houses are high and gas is out of this world high.

I'm still live with my parent and have no plan to move out at this moment, too.Live with parent have advantage and disadvantage. For example, live with parent, you have love from your parent, have happy when you sad and have share melancholy.

he he okay.. so i have to admit i have not moved out of my parents place. it is not a very common thing here in the philippines and people, children do not move out until they get married. i guess that will be the case with me.. besides my mom still wants us around. hehe i guess shw will not be used to being alone in the house.

I actually moved out of my parents house when I was 17 years old. I needed to be my own person, and to live by my rules. I would have to say that it was probably the best decision that I have ever made, because it really did make me who I am today.

I still live with my mother and I'm nineteen but I don't think I'll be moving out anytime soon. I think I am just going to freeload off of her some more. I'm just kidding but i don't think I'll be moving anytime soon. I won't leave my mom alone I think I'll miss her too much.

I moved out of my parents' house on the morning of my 18th birthday. I didn't have a very good home life with my step-father and counted the days until I was old enough to move out. My boyfriend and friends were pulled up in front of the house at 7:00 am on June 2nd with their trucks to start loading all of my stuff and move it to my apartment that I had leased with my best friend. Wow! That was a long time ago

i moved out of my parents a couple months after my 16th birthday. id been working and going to school and paying rent, buying my own clothes etc, and supporting myself since i was 15.. soo i figgered there wasnt any reason to stay where i was, and moved out. that was ;gulp; crikey, nearly 33 years ago LOL

I moved out 2 weeks after my 18th birthday. I understand living with your parents while you're in school - even college, but after that point I think its time to try to make it on your own, I mean, we all have to grow up sometime, right? If you do decide to stay at home with your parents after school, I believe you have an obligation to contribute to the household, after all, your parents shouldn't have to continue to support you once you are capable of supporting yourself. If you can't afford a house, what about an apartment or having a roommate?
