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.
Mississippi Steve Reviewed by Mississippi Steve on . When did you move out? I feel like I'm lagging behind in the game of life. I'm 20 (21 oct 22nd) and most of my friends have already moved out of their parents house. Granted, most of them also have their parents paying for their car, which mine aren't. But I did make a silly move by buying a $12,400 car when I was 19. Right after I graduated high school, I got a warehouse job with two other friends to make money before I started college. I saved up a little over $8,000 and put a $4,000 down payment on my VW GTI Rating: 5
