Here in the Philippines is quite unique.. you can live with your parents AS LONG AS YOU WANT.. Even you have your own family, sharing in a singke roof.. Not llike in American lifestyle you have the choice of moving away if you reached 18 years of age. What are the advantages and disadvantages of leaving with your parents even you're in majority age?

I left home when I was actually 17. I had to work really hard because I was still in high school, I also took college courses, and, since I moved out on my own, I also worked two jobs to pay rent. Despite how hard it was for me, it was the best thing for me to do in my situation. I think it depends on your individual situation. If things are good at home with your parents, then stay with them until you have enough money and a good job to go out into the world on your own.
