Me [26 M] am preparing to move out of home without my [24 F] girlfriend, who also still lives home. Am I feeling guilty for no reason?

Long story short, we have been together a few years now, and both recently graduating and got our first jobs within the last 6 months. Work for me is a little far from home and commuting is becoming too much, and I'm ready to move out and learn to be independent a self-reliant away from my parents. I will be closer to work, but further from my GF (30 mins, currently 10 mins at home), although the amount we see each other won't be impacted greatly. I have my finances in order to move out finally, a healthy emergency fund of ~6 months expenses, but I find myself feeling guilty in a way that I will be moving out on my own, learning to be my own person and grow while my girlfriend is still home and not super happy about being there. Initially she assumed we would move in together, although we had never talked about it because getting jobs and graduating were our main concerns.

She isn't upset about me moving out now though, she's seeing some of the positives of it, but I definitely have my concerns about the new dynamic of me starting my life and her being home still, unable to afford to move out. I think eventually we will move in together, but I'm not ready to right now as I have goals I'd like to achieve first (financial independence, relying on only myself, etc..).

TL;DR I'm ready to move out alone, have a GF who will still will be living at her parents, should I be feeling guilty starting my independent life while she is still home?
