What is better independence from your parents or live with them for a longer time? While independence from your parents is good, I do not think that living with them for a longer time is something terrible. I would not say that there is a better situation, it depends on the perspective of every person and in the relationship they have with their parents. In my case I do not have an urgency to leave my parent's house, because they respect my space and time, I feel good when I am at home and I enjoy their company. We can watch a movie or a serie together and I appreciate this time. However, I know that in a future I will have to move on to live another kind of experiences and to have my own site. The relationship that you have with your parents will influence your decision to leave home or to stay. For instance, I always have had an extraordinary relationship with my parents, they respect my time and do not try to control my life, for this reason I can live with them without a problem but if I have not this kind of relationship probably I would prefer to have my own place to be myself. To conclude, It is fine to leave your family's home at your right time, but you do not have to try to avoid this event, because thanks to this experience you are going to grow up.
