When it comes to living independently, younger generations are practicing patience, according to a new report from Zillow. The study revealed that, as of 2017, the average age that people start living alone is 26. (For comparison, it was 23 in 1980).

The average age young people leave home in Australia is 23 for men, and 24 for women.
Staying alone can help personal development and help the individual to mature. Men should leave their parents' house by the time they are 30 years old because at that age, they should be wise and strong enough to face any challenge.
