You're still young! You're off to an incredible start given your age. I am not very familiar with a number of your holdings, so it is difficult for me to evaluate, but the time factor makes your selections process more forgiving.

I understand that life is a whole lot more than finances, but from a financial standpoint, if you can stand it, maybe staying under their roof a bit longer would be worth it (if you can stand it)? That is assuming that the arrangement allows you to save a lot of your income that would otherwise be going toward housing. If you do move out and are considering buying, maybe look for a duplex or a multi-room place where you can rent out the other rooms and have tenants subsidize your living. That would be a great way to move out but not take a large financial hit, while diversifying your income streams.
