I'm 22 and have never tried to move out and have never had the desire to move out. I made a deal with my parents that as long as i'm in school i can stay at home. Doing this has made it so i can go to school without worrying about not having enough money to pay for it. I was even able to save up enough money to take a month long trip to japan after i finished my associates degree. I am a senior at OIT Portland now and have been making connections at Intel and other software companies so that i can get a job right after i get out of school.

In comparison my eldest brother is now 26 and has tried to move out several times each time coming home after a 5 or 6 months. He is living at home with no real prospects as he never made an effort in getting a schooling.
