<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

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.
<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?
