[quote=Anonymous]My parents told us that they expected us to move out 6 months after we completed formal schooling, so high school if we didn't go to college or college if we did not go to grad school. I was out of the house when I went to college, although I did return home for the summer.

I don't know what I expect for my son. He is 10 so it feels early to be thinking about those things. I guess my expectation is that he will go to college and live in the dorms or an apartment but be home for the summer. I would hope that he is able to find a job and move into his own place when he has finished his education. I don't think it hurts for a young adult to learn to live within their pay check and maybe not have a great apartment or have to live with a roommate. I know some kids live with their parents when they finish school, some because it is free and some to save up and be able to buy a place of their own. I have nieces and nephews who are living at home while paying down college loans.

I guess my expectations will depend a lot on what the economy looks like when DS is at that age and what his debt load looks like. But I would expect that he moves out once he has a job after he finishes school. [/quote]
