My dad left the house when he was 16. My mother when she was 24.
​
Today's economy however isn't great. I know plenty of people going into their 30s who still live at home. Along with ones who did move out when they were younger but after a couple of years returned as they couldn't justify all the added expenses.
​
I went through a speech from my Grandmother years ago saying that I shouldn't move out unless I was going to get married and have kids. Her opinion is that if you leave to go live by yourself you're not supporting your family and being selfish. When you could otherwise be living at home and paying the bills.

Out of my immediate friend group I can't think of anyone who move out of their house to go live by themselves. They've all lived with their parents till their mid twenties and then started renting a place with their partners. |
