I think it’s amazing that the empty nest syndrome starts when teens turn 18! I don’t think I would have been ready to move out and live on my own at that tender age (even though I did military conscription for about 1.5 years around that time). Barring two years in Japan, I lived with my parents until the ripe old age of 34 haha

I really don't know how I feel about this.

We moved out after high school and that independence was a valuable experience.

We also incurred a lot of avoidable costs and probably aren't as good at living with other people as we would have been otherwise.
