<prompt> Human: Hi pf,Im a 28 year old male, currently living in a home which belongs to my parents they dont currently live here.Ive just learned they are moving back to their home within the next month. The question is, should I stay home and live with them, or maintain my independence?First off, I have an excellent relationship with my parents as I consider both some of my best friends. So living under the same roof as them is no problem, and would probably look forward to spending time with them.However, I am currently a single male, 28, and financially well off with a stable job. I value my independence and would like to maintain it by moving out to an apartment. The apartment would cost me 1500 per month. So this is about an extra 1000 per year Id be spending on living, given that I do help with house costs atm. So Im setting myself back about 12k per year.I make 83k income per year. I could stay at home, save all this money, and do a ton of things with it, such as travel, save up for a house, etc. But I feel living at home wth parents will complicate my social situation, making it hard to maintain relationships and grow as an independent individual.Unsure of what move to make at the moment. Any advice? Thanks.  <response>: I think you should talk with your parents. But before you do, are you comfy having your SO over for a hot date when your parents are in the living room doing the crossword?
