<prompt> Human: I am a 24 year old male still living with my parents. I am licensed in my profession and I make 62K a year. I take home exactly 34 of that after taxes and 401K. I also have a side contract job with the potential of making 10K a year net, depending on how much time I want to put in. I have my own car that I lease. Im very self sufficient, I do all my things by myself cook, clean, wash clothes, iron, fix things, etc. Essentially my question is, should I move out of my parents house or stay and save money. I figure I can save 1K a month living alone, not including 401K. Or should I save the money and tough it out at home with my parents great relationship with my mom and siblings, its alright with my dad. Thanks.  <response>: You seem to have a good head on your shoulders and your priorities in order. I moved out at 24 under different circumstances navy and it was the best decision I ever made. I had still do a great relationship with my mom and stepdad, I just needed to spread my wings. It doesnt seem like you would struggle on your own, just comes down to your living situation. Hope this helps
