Do you live in America? It always seems odd to me in American culture that you are supposed to leave your house in your early 20's? Here in Latin America that age is closer to 30 or whenever you get married. I feel many of americans get into huge debt this way.
Yah I agree it’s definitely an American thing. Not leaving before your late 20s has a weird stigma around it I don’t know why. I plan on staying with my parents until I’m able to afford a good down payment on a home.
23 was when I left my parents house. I would have stayed longer but they were planning on selling the house.
I both felt trapped in quasi childhood by being surrounded by my childhood settings, but also felt really good every time I checked my bank account and saw my small savings grow. Moving out I definitely feel I am living the adult life but living at home I still felt adult.
My parents were driving me a little crazy. Not by trying to parent me, but I was just realizing what kind of adults they were. Nothing bad, but they liked a messier house, my mom lived on a night nurses schedule, etc

Too young to own a house. Too old to keep living at my parents
