Is it possible to be too old - to still be living at home?

That’s Katherine’s dilemma.

She’s 25 and has moved out of home once or twice before, but she’s not sure when to make the break for good, and find her own place.

She’s torn between being quite comfortable at home, and also wanting to become more independent, and broaden her circle of friends by having her own place that she can invite them back to.

At the same time, her friends who rent tell her to stay at home as long as she can, to save money.

She’s aware of the current difficulties in the rental market and is concerned that if she does move out, she may be so consumed paying bills and rent, that she won’t be able to enjoy her own place anyway.

Should Katherine stay or go?

Is it better to be comfortable and living at home? Or uncomfortable? And independent?
