| I moved out at 18, but I also moved to a different city for college. I think there are advantages and disadvantages to both situations.
If you move out now, it will cost you more, but it will teach you how to properly budget and manage your finances. It will also give you more freedom, independence, and responsibility.
If you stay at home, you should be able to save a significant amount of money, but it doesn't really allow an accurate sense of what it takes to live on a monthly basis. You may also feel restricted and obligated, but that ultimately depends on your parents and your relationship with them.
