Quoted for emphasis. This is the best advice you can give to someone about to move out. You will thank yourself.
When did you move out and do you regret it?

My moms passed away when I was 18, and my pops moved to Florida when I was 19. Best thing about it is having a rent controlled apartment to yourself in queens at 19. I'm pretty lucky.

Pretty much the plan. Saving a stupid amount of money, the pros greatly outweigh the cons if you have a nice parent(s).

What do you think is a good amount to save

You don't need to save anything, all you need is steady income. If you don't make enough to afford furniture gradually you shouldn't be moving out anyway.

Those who moved out and financially stable,
what US city do you live in, if that is applicable
Considering the COL + Rent

If you don't make enough to move out on a couple paychecks, I don't know what to tell ya. I'd stay at home otherwise honestly.

I moved out for college but ended back home after graduation so I don't really count that time since my mom helped me with a majority of my bills.
But I moved out on my own for what I like to think of as the first time this past Feb. Not regretting it at all.

Moved out at 17 for college. Lived back home during summer after my first year. Said never again and moved out "for good" at 18. After graduating one of my roommates messed up our lease (broke *** 
) and I had to move back for a few months because I couldn't afford the last month rent + damages (broke dude also was sloppy & reckless) + deposit and first months rent (was like $2000 total...no option.)
If you are planning on moving, save up as much as possible. When you do move, save up as much as possible. I hated living with my mom at 21 after graduating. Not having an emergency fund was naive, because it could have been worse.
After that i moved in with my girl and its eh. :\ if you're in your early 20s , don't move in with your gf. Live by yourself if you can. I only had the chance to once in college and that was easily the best year of my life.

19 when I joined the military, they kicked me out of the dorms at 21 now I got my own crib
Graduated from College June 1 , moved out of moms Crib, by August, was 22
I went from a room, to a one bedroom, to now too many damn rooms,
You can't leave ya momma house when you comfortable, you gotta grind, learn how to budget and support yourself,
After 25, regardless of you're situation, people don't take you serious, when you still home
And other than missing my mother and noticing how she and my brother have "changed" , Never regret moving out the crib.........

I moved out when I was 20; the only regret I have is not moving out sooner, should have left at 18.
