When should you move out of your parents' house?

Question

I'm toying with the idea of ​​moving out. I'm currently 17 years old and in training. So my question to those who have already moved out, are in the process of moving out, or share the same question as me: How do/did you know when the right time is/was, or when it's necessary? Should it be based on age? On the apprenticeship/school, etc.? Or even on the partner?

Definitely not until you can afford it.

It's not always the same..... If so, then responsibility must be taken at home. and contribute to the costs...like in a private apartment! The parents continue to care lovingly...but where is the limit? That's the problem... Love cannot stop, nor can responsibility...it is better to move out...and then you will be happy to return to the nest! Love remains on both sides. Responsibility remains on both sides. Thank God also for the good, loving family...

There's nothing worse than having to move back after a few months because things didn't work out financially. You should think about that beforehand (compare rent prices, draw up a plan: what do I have, what do I need, how much does it cost, can I afford it?). Of course, the question arises: are you no longer getting along with your parents? You're 17. Your parents still have to give you their okay if you want to move out. And with whom. They would have to take over a rental agreement, since you're not yet of legal age. When is the right moment? I think that's different for everyone and depends on a lot of different factors.

I'm 24 and still live at home—fuck my life. Of course, there's plenty of money. But yes, you should move out when you earn enough that a third of your salary is enough for the apartment you want.

Without a partner it's not so easy.

The question is 'who' should finance the apartment.

If you can afford it, find a suitable apartment/room, and want it.

There are no specific points that determine whether you "have to" move out. It's different for everyone.

I moved out at 19 because I couldn't afford it at 18. I would have preferred to move out as soon as possible because I no longer felt truly "at home" at my parents' house, but more like a guest.

I moved out shortly before my 20th birthday.

My training was over, my boyfriend (later husband) and I had a job and we then looked for an apartment.

We didn't "beg" our parents; we bought what we couldn't afford new and replaced it with new ones over time. We didn't get into debt; we were simply unfussy and frugal.

"When should you move out of your parents' house?" If you want to and if your income is sufficient.

This cannot be determined by age.

You need the financial means to support your own life. Otherwise, you'll end up back at home with your parents.

During your studies, you usually don't have the financial means to build your own life. Especially now, with inflation.
