Always strong arguments for both sides of moving out of home.

Pros: You're "supposed" to get out and make your own way. You'll feel better about yourself while you're struggling because you'll be able to look down on all the people who haven't moved out yet.

Cons: It's a huge drain financially to try and build any momentum in life with all the rent to pay and whatnot. Just make sure your income is sufficiently higher than your rent. Don't be paying above 50% of your income in rent. 25% would be an ideal ceiling.
