I was 21 when I left home to take on a first job at a different city. I was away from home for about 6 months until I decided to quit taking on a job just near where my mom was living. So I moved again with her. I permanently moved out from home when I was 24 when I relocated again because of work. I had ever since lived on my own up to the time I got married and raised a family of my own.

I moved out of my parents house when i was 17 years old. I moved out because it was time to start living my own life, and starting my own family.

I suppose it's more a matter of finances, managing money, and maturity then age. If you have enough money saved up, are good at managing it, and are fairly mature about things & have a steady job(probably best to be a job above minimum wage.) when moving out you should be fine. However, rushing into things is never a good idea. It's probably best to stay at home as long as possible and save up as much money as you can while you're not paying bills(or possibly paying bills but not as many as you would be outside your family home.) I'm still saving up. While others will be working in next to nothing jobs and saving up i'll probably have a house & a nice car in half the time it would take them. Basically what i'm saying here is to stay as long as possible and save up as much money as you can before moving out.

I moved out from my parents house when u was 17, it was just because i wanted to get my own place with my boyfriend. My mum didnt mind as knew i was mature enough to deal with it. I was only gone for 2 years because i decided that i wanted to buy my own house so me and my boyfriend moved back in with our parents so that we could save up enough money ot buy one.

Unfortunately I am back with my parents at the moment but last year I attempted to move out with my boyfriend. I was 18, going on 19 and my boyfriend was AWOL from the military and had a warrant for his arrest. My parents of course didn't want me seeing him until he turned himself in so I up and moved out. lol, it wasn't the best of circumstances and I definately was not ready to move out at all. I quit my job, lost contact with alot of friends, became super depressed, and lived on my boyfriends family. I was away about 3 months before I finally woke up and smelled the coffee. lol. But if all goes well by next year this time I plan to be on my own :)
