I'm 24 and have been on my own with roommates for over 4 years now (save for one summer). It probably never would've happened if I didn't move away to school. But after landing a gig out here and getting used to having no one to answer to, then going home was not an option.
I'm one of the cheapest people you will ever meet, but I honestly can't put a price on living away from home. Before I moved away to school I constantly had fights with my parents. Their main problem with me was that I stayed up real late at night and they hated that. They threatened to kick me out of the house just for that, if you can believe it. It was in no way because I woke them up from being loud either. I just watched TV or was on the computer in the basement: 2 floors below where anyone slept.
Definitely the best decision ever though. Since I moved out, I've managed to grow closer and have a better relationship with my parents than I can ever remember. My mom practically begs me on a monthly basis to move back, siting all the plus sides. It's really tempting to have no rent or close to no rent, an abundance of free meals etc, but it'll never happen. However, they also act as reasons I don't want to move home. I honestly wouldn't feel like a grown up if my life was like that. I get a real satisfaction from being on my won and getting things done by myself. If I were to ever move home, I would likely become an even lazier human being and incredibly dependent.
