I look at it like this...My father told me to stay until I feel that I am financially ready to get on my feet and do my own. Which I pretty much agree with him. I want to at least have a good enough job before I move out that I can feed myself, my fiance, and my soon to be born baby, and I would also like to be able to pay for all living expenses (whether it be clothes, house, car, etc.). That is my look on it. I think people that have that kind of support from parents have a lot less financial drama when they move out.
