Leaving home is an inseparable part of growing up and the only question is when is the best time to leave the house in which we grew up? Although some argue that children should be encouraged to part away from their family in a younger age, others, including me, believe that this is for the best to stay at the family home until you are ready to start your own life.
Leaving family home as soon as possible is a great booster for building confidence. Individuals who are living on their own from an earlier age are more capable of dealing with problems and difficulties as they have to encounter them alone. They learn how to depend on themselves and not to wait for others to ressolve their issues. It is reported by various researches that there is a direct relationship between professional success and the age which a person leaves his/her family. It is shown, in general, the earlier someone starts living alone, the more successful they are likely to be in the future.
On the other hand, there are valuable benefits in staying with your family for a longer time. to begin with, it develops a deeper affection amoung family members. Families which its members spend longer time with each other tend to be more friendly and warm in their relationships. They help each others in different areas and share more memorable moments. Moreover, by staying with their parents, children can save more money and have a head start in competition with those who have to pay the rent and living expenses all by themselves. For instance, my older brother left home when he was 24, and he bought a house right away because he already saved plenty of money by working and not having to pay a fortune for rent.
In conclusion, while it is claimed that if children leave their family home sooner, they will be more competent and successful, I believe that there are more benefits, such as saving more money and developing a better relationship with family members, in leaving later.
