Hey Warik, I'm in the same situation except:

-No degree / regular job
-I've lived away from home for a while before moving back (I was working in a city that I didn't like so I came home).

Basically, you have to ask yourself what you'd like to do that you can't do at home, and then move out if whatever that thing is, is important enough.

Basically, the only reason that I'd leave home right now would be if I wanted to travel to another country/province, or if I earned enough to buy a house and fix up the basement, in order to rent it out to college kids.

The food IS awesome, and I could be way off here, but I don't think living on your own will be too much of a shock: just a few more bills to keep track of. Don't worry about pissing off your parents when you do, though, they'll probably help you move in and they'll enjoy seeing what you do with your first place.

I guess a large part of your comfort while staying at home depends on if you can instantly move if you wanted to: have enough money for first/last, and furnishings liquid at all times, and you don't have to worry about this at all. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

A line of credit works too, I guess.

Like Daryn and Warik, I'm 24 and living at home.

As long as you like your situation, you're saving a ton in rent/interest costs on a mortgage.
