<human>: I have been living with my parents since we moved to the US. Since then we've managed to get reasonable-paying employment. Right now we're in a 2BR apartment, with me contributing to the rent (I pay around 35% to my mom) but I want to move out. I've never been on my own before and I think it's time to be able to learn how to fend for myself and handle my own finances. I've had a *very* privileged upbringing and it's important to me to learn how to be on my own.

My mom is the primary breadwinner, and my dad has part-time work. They would not be in financial difficulty without me.

When I brought up the topic of moving out ("hey I found a place, good price, etc") my mom was a little upset and didn't want me to leave. This was 6 months ago. Now I actually found a roommate and we're looking at apartments. Haven't told them yet. I'm looking to move out at the end of the year.

How do I make this extraction process go smoothly? I'm feeling guilty for leaving them because I suspect that I'm the primary reason we moved to the US (job opportunities). And in Asian culture it's very rare for kids to leave the nest this early.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I want to move out, but I'm feeling guilty about it and my parents probably would not be too happy. What can I do to make this easier?
