i moved out when i was 18

1. stay at the parents and pay rent plus have all my weekly chores and whatnot
2. move out on my own
never regretted moving out once. my relationship with my parents improved 10 fold in the process and why would i want to pay my parents rent when i could pay rent for my own place
for a lot of kids, me included, being broke and independant > strained family relationships and the same rules when you were a minor while paying rent
