If you can live comfortably at your parents' place, what's the point of living alone?

I live in the city and can commute to work from my parents’ place. Living costs are kept down and there aren’t any real hardships. Still, is there any point in living on my own? Rent costs money and there are more chores. If I’m at my parents’ place, it’s easier and I can save money. If you have a comfortable family home, is there no need to move out? Or should you try living alone at least once even if you don’t feel any inconvenience? What do you think is the point of living on your own for someone who doesn’t feel constrained at home?

Even if it's comfortable, I think stepping out of the house at least once greatly sharpens life's clarity

I'm not the type who says "if you don't have any problems you don't need to go out"; I'm the "it's better to go out at least once because your life's clarity will explode" kind 🔥 Living alone means you take on all the money and chores yourself, which is a drag, but with that burden comes the feeling that you're running your own world, and you clearly see your distance from your parents and your own values—that's a big thing, you know 😉✨
