IMHO I would wait as long as you can and have some cushion.
From your previous posts if you can handle living at home, do so.
remember 70-20-10 rule....
spend 70% of your income on what it takes for you to live... that's gas, car, rent, electricity, basic groceries... stuff that you need to live and survive.
20% should be some money to make you at least feel like you work for something besides paying bills. Enjoyment money... this is movies, going out to dinner, vacationing, traveling, READ: TREATS!
10% savings
take the 10% out first... put that away... make the rest happen.
