As soon as your in college you should officially move out. But the latest time is after you finish college.
I'm moving out in September into residence at the University I'll be attending, because it's too far away for me to stay at home (which I would do if there was a feasible reason for me to).
As much as I would love to move out from my dad, I don't have the money to do that. Even with college coming up, I find that it'll be really difficult to be out there on my own and seeing as how it's college, I won't even be on my own officially. I'm really hoping that college will really do what people say it's supposed to do and give me a sense of independence and make me feel more secure about moving out. I do plan on either moving back in with my dad, or moving in with someone else after college. I don't think I'd be able to support myself with college loans to be paid off.
I can't afford living alone, yet. It is a responsibility. I will probably move out when I finish college or maybe later on when I have a job.
I'm going off to university in a couple of weeks, so I'll be living in a dorm and technically not living at home (even though home isn't too far away) but I'm by no means so attached to living on my own that I wouldn't go back if I needed to.
Also, depending on situations, moving back home temporarily isn't a bad thing either. A friend of mine who is 25, has a steady job and is looking for a house is temporarily staying at his parents house (they own a tenament home so the third floor is his) while he is going house-hunting.
When I'll be 18 I'll be forced to move to another country for university, but my parents said they want to live with me D: I mean of course I need them, they can live next door if they like, but I would like to be alone in my own house. I'm tired of having them stick their noses in everything I do and I want some freedom. I can't live without them, but I can't live with them either xD But unfortunately I still 4 years to go T_T But when I'll be 18 I absolutely want to move out.

I don't there's anything wrong with someone in their 20's living with their folks if they can show they are making progress towards independence (i.e. attending school, job training, trying to find a good job). 30's+ then it's a little fishy.
I'll move out when I feel that I can afford to, or if I have to for my job, whichever comes sooner, but, if it's the latter, I hope I have the good judgment that the former will be met if I do have to move for a job.
It depends on where I find a job. For example.. I moved to England this summer (I live in Toronto) for an internship with Disney for 3 months.. so technically I'm temporarily living on my own.. but it depends. There's lots of film studios in Toronto but also lots in other places.
I'd like to stay with my parents, though, because that's a great way to just save money for a good down-payment on a house in a few years time. But like I said.. if I find a really good job with high pay I might as well move out and use my bigger paycheque to save for a place while I rent.
