Independence is such a sweet little thing. When we live with our parents or any figure of authority in our lives, we're bound by their rules and usually the stricter these figures of authorities are, the more likely it will be for the child to want to move out.
Moving out is different for a lot of us. Some of us move out and be literally on our own, some move out with pets and some move out to move in with other people as roommates or a partner. And it also happens at different points of our lives.
When I started to live on my own, I did my research and asked around but there really were some things nobody told me about:
Do it when you’re able.
The time to move out differs for all of us and there is no deadline really. However, when you are able to, I don’t think it’s something you should delay. When you’re at the right age and are able to provide for yourself, then you really should consider trying to see the real world - unless you have financial factors like debts or people you need to provide for or you are saving for your own property that will drag your financial state to the negatives if you move out. Move out when you are able to and not just because everyone else is moving out. Do it primarily for yourself.
Be your own backup.
I personally believe it is not a good mindset to move out with the belief that you have your parents as a back up or you can just move back in when things get difficult. I think the best thinking to go for is "I made this choice and I have to make it on my own." So you do everything (legal) it takes to make it on your own. Be your own backup. This way, it will be easier to get priorities straight especially your finances.
