When did you move out?

[Mississippi Steve]

I moved out when I enlisted in the Coast Guard at 19 years old... I only waited until I had earned my journeyman machinist ticket so I had a means of keeping a roof over my head and food on the table. I figured on letting Uncle Sam pay for my education when I got out after 4 years.... It didn't work that way...I decided I liked the job, and hung around till it wasn't any fun anymore.

FWIW, I got my *DRAFT NOTICE* while I was on USCGC Glacier in the Bearing Sea. LOL.

None of it matters. Hopefully, someone will always be there to take care of you. I've known forty year-old men who, because of misfortune (usually divorce), spend some time back at their parents' house.

A very very close friend of mine is 44 and he hasn't moved out of home.
He does his own thing....i guess he pretty much just rents the room from his parents as a place to sleep.

but yeah it doesn't matter when you move out of home.
Whenever feels right for you!
There is no real rush...

I moved out at 18, ended up moving back in with my parents after traveling a bit. Then moved out at 21 again.

20 for me, but I've been in and out of since. I wasn't a lucky one to have parents to pay for it all, but at least I can fall back on them when in being raped financially.

I left at 18, I'm now 22, still in school, and still not financially independent. The only reason my girlfriend and I are even able to survive is because her parents let us move into a vacant house on their property. After Katrina, the average cost of apartments jumped from $500 to $800...

Asshole landlords. But yeah, I probably won't be fully out of my parents grasps until around 24. So don't feel bad about still living at home. :thumbsup:

I was 17 and I drank a ton of beer for a long, long time afterward. I worked then, and I work now.

Im 21, in school full-time and don't work enough to be able to afford to pay rent anywhere. I really wish I could move out, as living on my own I think would allow me total freedom, and a place to call my own, but It'll have to wait either til I'm done with school or I transfer to another school. In which case my grandma has money set aside to assist with living arrangements for me, my bro, and all my cousins for when we go to college.

Whom ever said that they were 18 or younger when they moved out is B.S. They didn't have an option apparently!(meaning they got their asses kicked out) Or their parents helped them finicially! Anyways i hardly think that the people that said they were 18 when they moved had that choice or just went and left on their own. I don't think so! You guys don't have to lie to sound cool! LMAO Cuz their is no way at 18 or younger you could just up and move out of your parents house on your own , again lmao! Its the internet so what do you expect! LoL YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIE TO MAKE FRIENDS!:jointsmile:

I went to college when I was 18, and haven't been back for longer then a holiday week at a time, but it wasn't until I was 20 that I rented an apartment to have as a semipermanent residence.

I left school at 14. Started work at 14. I left home at 16. I got a place, and supported myself. My parents didnt pay for me to do anything - i had to pay for EVERYTHING myself.

So, your wrong. Infact, your post is a load of shit - so dont bother posting it.

Moved out at 16 started an unexpected family at 17 been on my own since married with a kid I'm 23 now finally finishing college now been broke the whole time but always manage to get by I'm not moving back in with my parents ever too much self respect to give up and stay with my parents. It was a shock though growing up upper class and getting thrown into "the poor life" but I always figured if I have a family I am supposed to support it not them. I just take the bumps and keep strong for them. Mortgages do SUCK though
