That depends on you as to what do you want to do! here in my country, india, you usually live with your parents forever after all they are the ones who produced you they never left you and why do you have to leave them

I don;t think it really matters. Some people are ready to leave at 16 and others not until after 30. I know a few people who have left home and came back again, including myself. A friend of ours moved a fair way away, lived there for a couple of years, got married, came to live nearer to home with his wife and, a year later, they seperated and he moved back with his parents. He was aged 28 I think when he moved back. My partner was 29 and had never lived away from home when he moved in with me. My younger sister was 18 when she moved out and she's still happily not married to her partner after 14 years! I moved out at 19, came back and moved out again at 24. A couple of my friends in their mid-20s still live with their parents, some have no intention of moving soon. And a couple of people I know were 30 or more before they moved out. I think it really depends on the person. I think men tend to leave later in life than women(because men can't look after themselves!)
