Is moving out a good idea?

Context: mid 20, plenty of savings, $92k income

Pretty torn lately if I should be moving out, one of the biggest reason is commute hours and having to be an adult and pay big rent.

Stay at family home

Cons:

- 3 hours commute on train for 3 days per week

Pros:

- $800 rent

- able to spend time with family

Move out with my long term partner

Cons:

-$1200 rent

-fear of not being able to move back in if anything happens

-having to find another rental in 6 months time

Pros:

- 20 minute commute for 3 days per week
