How old do you think is too old to be living with your parents?

im 25 and live with my fiancee and her parents, were trying to save for a wedding and a house at the same time.

luckily the house is 2 terraced houses in one so we got loads of space. but we do contribute a lot to rent.
 
20, at uni. Moved out at the age of 18, even though my uni is in the same city as my parents.
I'll be at home during the summer holiday though.
 
I think if you're happy at home and there are no restrictions then it doesn't matter. I'm not going to have a better quality of life by moving out and renting a place.
 
I moved out at 19, got married at 20, moved back home last year (age 37), its not a financial decision, its the best place for my daughters to be so thats why Im back with the folks, its not ideal but sometimes you have to do things you dont want to.
 
I'm 20 and I live at home. I have been looking at places to rent but it's too expensive to justify at this moment in time.

Like previously mentioned; I'll build my money up and then look again :)

Im 38 and my mum lives with me....as both my brothers have married and moved away, one to Canada and the other to Australia.

I dont see any issue with this as it works for both of us...my mum is looked after by me and in turn she looks after me.

Good on you sir.

My home will always be open for my family, especially my parents. I consider it part of my responsibility.
 
Depends entirely on your financial situation. You may well be able to afford to move out when you are in your early twenties but saving a deposit, assuming you wish to buy at some point, will be difficult if you don't have a lot of extra cash.

Saving up as much as possible while you're young is sensible and living at home is a good way to do this. Anybody that scoffs at your age and that you still live with your parents is either arrogant in the fact that not everybody craps money and that there is often a good reason for it as opposed to laziness/dependance.

Myself am moving out in October, I'm 22, though if it were not for some unfortunate family circumstances which benefited my finances I would be staying at home for god knows how much longer.
 
I moved out from my parents when I 21 and bought my first house and I was not with a girl. Just thought it was time to go..........and be a man:)

Nice try, but 46, have lived away for 20-ish years but have moved back temporarily.

My current wages + child support (divorced a few years ago, caused by wife 's bipolar condition) + travel costs to work, mean I just can't afford anywhere decent of my own to live in at the moment : (

After living at uni for a while I was hoping I'd never have to move back home, but with the job I got which was conveniently on my parents doorstep I'm never at home during the week, then visiting friends at weekends. It would be a complete waste for me to rent a room anywhere else. 24 now and can see this continuing for the next 3-4 years at least.

That's what happened with me. Lived away during Uni and once I graduated the job I found was just across town from them so it made no sense not to move back home. Ended up staying there until I was 28 (no chance of buying anything on my salary then where they lived and I didn't see the point of renting in a rubbish part of town) when the company I worked for offered me relocation to another (cheaper) part of the country so I ended up moving out then.
