We all go on about preferences on how young/old we would go and it depending on whether its sexual or a relationship thing make a difference o. what we choose to have, but my question is:
In this day an age. Given the financial and social climate we live in. What is the minimum/maximum age that someone should have moved out by. At what point would you say/think "they are too old to live with their parents", etc? |

"I'm 39 and with my current situation as a plan b i may have to move back in with the parents.
I really hope that doesn't happen!."
That's moving back though as things haven't worked out. What age should they move out to see if they can do it though? |

"No age limit in my home. As long as
A ..he is financially independant
.B everything he needs and
C a good, steady job.  "
So basically, if you're good enough you're old enough in your eyes? If someone has all those in your house, they should move out at 18 for example? |

Think it depends on the child and parents doesn't it?
I left home at 16 to join the RAF and haven't lived at home since. My brother is 25 and still lives at home as he couldn't afford to rent/buy. |

"I would never dream of saying its time to move out.
"
Never would I unless they was over 18 and giving me serious hassle or in their late 20s/early 30s and going out regularly and spending a lot. |

" He is 42! 
This is the reaction I don't want. So wanted to know what age is ok. Before I/someone gets that as a reaction?
"
Sorry I should have been clearer. I thought the gob smacked face there would have sufficed. 42 is to old.

I gathered that, but was wondering what is the oldest age that is acceptable to the point people won't think about someone that age of moving out is a bit old? |

So you want a number. An actual number. An actual age. |

I know a few peeps who lived with their parent til their late 20s but were able to save enough to buy a place.
I have rented since I was 18 - personally I'm glad to have the freedom this long. |

I pay for my own phone/car and rent. Then I put a small bit aside (what I can afford) and hopefully when I move out. That will go a long way to helping me. However on my current finances. I will never be able to afford a mortgage and bills. Yet I think I am far too old to be living at home and when it comes to things round the house, etc. I am completely independent. So not really a mummies boy. Just really hard up for funds. I am thinking that if in 2 years my life hasn't changed. Women will be out off as they will think the same you do. |

Everyone takes different paths in life so reach their destinations at different times. Do what you can and are able and you'll get there eventually.
You don't need a mortgage to move out either; I think the average first time buyer age is over 40 now which is plenty of time to save a deposit while renting. |

I think it's one of those situations where there's no hard and fast rule. I know I didn't really grow up till I moved out at 19 and went from being daddy's little princess to completely independent. So I'd be more put off by someone who had never moved out then someone who has had to move back due to unforeseen circumstances.
But it's not a deal breaker!
I could never move home now my dad has passed away. Theres 400 miles between me and my mum for a reason  |

It depends though whether you call it living with your parents or house sharing. My son came back for three months in the summer, did what he liked, had girlfriends stay over ect. So there was no restriction for him

I dont think any age is applied anymore. Many cant afford to move out, many lose homes due to not able to afford the rising costs etc. Wages are crap and everything is so bloody expensive. I feel for those having to live with their parents but i have more sympathy with the parents as they never get that time alone when the kids leave. |

If my son was here and not in the usa, i would have no hesitation of having him live here until he was finacially secure enough to get his own place. better that than added stress etc. Stress kills. |

I moved out when i was 20 then my landlord sold his place so i live with my mum for now till i find another place.Private renting is expensive and housing associations seem to only want to know if you have kids.
I have no problem with people who are divorced with kids, but i know alot of single females with 3 kids by 3 different men who get a place just like that.
So alot of people have no option but to live with parents. |

Especially in York. House prices are pretty high here.
To the OP, I moved out at 19, my daughter moved out at 20. I think that's about right myself, but the current recession obviously isn't helping and if someone has to stay for financial reasons and doesn't behave like a kid then a bit older is fine. |
