It really depends on your life style. I live at home with my mother and contribute to paying for utility, property tax, home insurance, etc. Maintenance and internet I handle and cover. I do not have a curfew but she does want me to call-in if I will be coming home late or staying overnight elsewhere.

She respect my privacy and usually won't bother me unless it is something she actually deems important (i.e. why is her tablet/phone not working, etc.). I have no girlfriend nor interest in getting one so the concern of bringing her home when my mother is around is not one I need to deal with. Could living at home cause me to hold back? I honestly do not know.

For the past few years she has been taking an annual month-long trip out-of-country and I'm home alone the entire time. It is during those trips that I experience what it is like to live alone. For the most part I do enjoy how any mess I see (i.e dirty dishes) are only mine and not my mother. Sounds odd but with her age, my mother habits on certain messes she makes will never go away so I have to live with them instead of hoping she'll change.

The amount I contribute each month is $500 which is a far cry compared to the rents my friends are paying for their apartment. If I find myself suddenly having to find an apartment to live in, it definitely would require a change of habits on my part to save additional money for the increase in rent.

If I ever move out though it'll more likely just be due to a change in job as I can't see any other realistic reasons for me to move out.
