YOU CAN DO IT!! :) I moved out when I was 20.. I might have been 19, i duno. I loved living on my own. I did it for about 3.5 years before I got married, and I think it was helpful to really experience what life is all about before getting married. Oh, I was also working almost-full-time and pioneering for one of the years that I had my own place. I had a really crazy schedule, which was good, because I always kept busy. And let me tell you living on your own QUICKLY teaches you about keeping a budget and keeping a household together, even if it's just you. It's a great life lesson in my opinion. Sure, you could save LOADS of money by living at home... but what fun is that? haha
