I have no idea why Americans are this way and constantly put constraints on themselves. Putting themselves at a disadvantage for literally no reason. Bunch of people leaving home broke, crashing on a couch in a closet sized apartment with 2 other roommates just for some self perceived, “freedom”
My mom quit her job and I had to pay bills while in school. My parents used me. They even convinced me to co-sign for them on 2 different loans and had me pay half of one of those loans. My parents forced my hand. I had to leave, they weren’t giving me the opportunity to save money. I appreciate them for making me the person I am. I realize I have no one to fall back on if I have hard times.

For years many of us put our children out at 18, just in the last 20 years or have we started catching up to others and letting kids stay past 18/19. This expected freedom is old school not new.
True, but by your mid-20s it's time, I say this as someone trying to get out myself.
There is no uniform correct answer for when someone should move out.
I left a couple of months before I turned 19, and haven't looked back. For me, my family situation created a need for me to get my own space, and I wasn't going to save money at home anyway.
But for others, maybe they have an environment where they can grow as an adult, save up cash, and leave when they're able to comfortably afford their own living situation.
To each their own, basically.
how bout stay your ass at home as long as your can or until you can afford it
Even then its still to high. I think more kids should stay home. That still doesn't solve the real issue...
Then rent will go up even higher. I use to think it was the pay. It isnt, its the market.
