Left at 18 when I went to college, came back for a summer, left for FL the summer after that. Moved back in when we left FL due to the hurricane blitz and the levelling of my flight school. Moved back out when I went to Skymates, moved back in during training at PCL while hunting for a house, moved out (hopefully for good) about two months ago.

I agree that moving out of the 'rental's house will cause you to mature faster. I learned more about budgeting, working and managing myself in general after I moved out of my parent's house than I ever thought I would. My brother still lives there (he's 26), and he's scared to move out. Part of the problem is that he doesn't know anyone he feels is responsible to cover their half of rent and bills. Add to that there are NO jobs around here at the entry level that you could pay rent/bills on your own, and he's kinda stuck.

So, IMO, there are circumstances that will either keep you from moving out or sending you packing back to circle the wagons.
