If you have a job, no reason not to. Honestly I moved out when I was 18 and… it was difficult yet amazing. Money will always be an issue but the personal growth you get from it is worth it. You move into a different phase of your life when you start managing your own household.

I had the same feeling (worried if I can even take care of myself and what if a problem happened) when I first forced myself to leave the comfort of home. I didn’t know how taxes worked, I had to learn to organize my time to do shopping, cooking, cleaning, change a light bulb, wash an oven, get a stain out of a carpet, etc, etc. I never had enough money at first but after a while, I figured out how to plan my finances. Honestly, within the 1st year you will get your shit together and once you do, your a different person. At least for me, my perspective changed, I matured and got way more confidence. I was solving all my own problems and it feels good to do things your own way.

I would start by leasing an small apartment, its a good place to start, maybe a Bachelor. I would not recommend going from 0 to 100, its a poor idea if you never lived on your own and just straight up moved into a house. Houses are a lot of work, at least if you live in an apartment, things like plumbing, electricity and etc is part of maintenance. Aside from yard work, you need to maintain wires, plumbing and other problems that you can’t solve with a ticket.
