i can tell that this is based on the thread-starter's personal experience.

well, here's my two cents.

well, if you feel like you are ready to start on your own, go ahead. your wanting to be independent might teach you how it is to grow up and mature all by yourself. but be aware that time,that living without your parents isn't that easy at all. it doesnt always mean that when a man is ready to earn a living that it would also mean that he is capable enough to survive... emotionaly.

but experience teaches us well. go for it. anyhow, your parents will always be there when you need them. there's no such thing as age limit.
