Should I move out???

I'd move out instantly if I were you; I used to live by myself for almost 15 years and I miss every second of it. Here's a bit of what I've learned the hard way: do not move out if other major changes are going on in your life right now (you're pregnant, you're planning your wedding, changing jobs, graduating - things like that) because you'll need some support and stability. Also, do not move out if the pressure on your budget would become impossible, but I guess that's commonsense. Or if you have a pet and can't take it with you to the new house.

Hi Calajane, If you are after practicality, staying with your parents is the key. Free board and lodging, plus all the love and care in the world by your folks. But if you're after growth and independence, then by all means rent out your own place. There's no better way to learn responsibility than having your own place to maintain. Plus, think of all the privacy. ;)

I think it's a good decision.you and your parents would have your own space.May be you will keep good relationship than before.

At 25 you should be ready to take the leap and try it on your own. You have gotten a lot of really good advice already and there is not much I can add. If you are worried about whether or not you can handle a budget and make things work for financially you could always have a talk with your parents and see if you can have the option of returning home if things do not work out. It would be a safety net for you. If you know you have that option it could take a lot of the stress off of you. Not that you would use it as a crutch, but, more of an insurance. Do the very best that you can, you are an adult, but we all need a little back up once in a while. Good luck to you.

It is the initial stage in your movement that is scary and difficult. Once you get used to budgeting and fall into a routine with your budget, you will get used to it. When I was living with my brothers I always wanted space but I did not move out because they still need me. Time came that they moved out instead, but the old place seemed so big for me all alone, so I rented a room that is good enough for me. But think it over anyway.

Do you sum. If you can afford it, it's better that you move out and be independent. This will help you to be responsible and learn to take care of yourself. It will make you a better & mature person in the long run. In Singapore, many young adults stay with their parent till they are married and then start their own family. Problems start to surface; as they don't know how to manage household activites. Previously, everthing is taken care by their parent; they just walk in & out of the home like a hotel. Quarrels & blaming will evenly surface between the young couple.... What's next is up to you to imagine....

It is a good idea that you move out. However, you should make sure that your parents know about this and there are other people in your house who could be with your parents. it is nice to be independent.

If you want a space for your own then moved out but consider some factor before packing. First, are you ready for it? Are you sure you'll won't be missing a lot if you moved out? Are you ready to do things on your own like laundry,cooking,cleaning,etc. Are you ready to face responsibility of paying off the bills yourself? Are you ready to take control of your life and do all the decisions? If you say yes, then pack and move out!

Actually my friend in your discussion is not fully explained your purpose why you are moving out your just said opportunity of renting one-room. If your purpose is to prove to yourself that you can live on your own, discipline yourself how to budget, know how to save your own and you want more privacy - I tell you go on. But if your purpose is something that you and your family problem, you get away from problem, I think it is not a solution instead of talk to them and settle the issue. But as friendly advice talk and ask permission or 2nd opinion from your family... see you around

Before doing so, you must be committed to the fact that indeed, your spending habits will definitely change. It's an opportunity to act like an adult. You get to budget your money and act maturely. It's going to be difficult, as I am renting a place in Manila. When my parents are away, I live independently. And it's hard because budgeting is really difficult. But that's the challenge there. I think what you have to keep in mind is that every expense counts. So think about it, if you can live with that, then go.

greetings! if you feel that you can eventually budget everything, then go for it. you have to take that risk to finally learn how to be independent. however, you must accept all possible consequences and that they're part of the growing pains. change is often good. it's just a matter of finding the right balance and mix of pros and cons.
