Living on your own is way better than living at home. My parents have a pretty big house and they are both professionals in the medical field so they are rarely even home so I hardly ever saw them anyways. Girls like it way more when you take them back to your own place rather than your parent's house

 

brilliant!

 

With the rent prices in CA, I say do it only if it doesn't cripple your budget. Anywhere else (almost anywhere else), I say live on your own.

 

You're 24 right? I'd definitely move out into an apartment as long as you can afford it. I was living at home with my parents off and on until I was about 22. You definitely take things more serious when you're on your own and learn the responsibilities of an adult. I say go for it bro. Just find a trustworthy friend or two and go in together on a 2 or 3 BR 2BA apartment. That will definitely cut costs.

 

i'm 25. i've lived on my own for a few years, but moved in with my grandparents when i got laid off in hopes of saving up some money. my plan is really to stay here and save money for a house. i just think it's pointless to waste money on rent when i don't necessarily HAVE to.

 

I lived at home long enough to pay off all my debt and save up for a downpayment on a condo. I wish I would have moved out of home sooner, but I also have an awesome relationship with my parents.
