Of course, if you want to branch out and get your own space then by all means do so but don't ever feel pressured into leaving your family and flinging yourself into lifelong debt "because that's what you're supposed to do". 

My kid is only three years old so it isn't an issue right now but I would never dream of telling them they're out on their ear at 18, they're welcome to live with us all their damn lives.
