when did you move out of your parents house?

Lived at home til I was 20, but that didn't stop me from bringing chicks home and sneaking them through my window all the time. Sometimes you gotta improvise. No big deal.

You're doing it wrong...

Parents seperaed at 18 - moved in w/ Dad...he has his space and I have mine. Now at 23 and 60 - we both do what we want. He still covers the bills and we go 50/50 on low-income investment properties.

I love you dad!
 


I'm 23 and live at home, in fact all of my friends still live at home and are the same age or older. Here in Melbourne Australia, the major universities (colleges) are in the CBD, so it's like a 20 minute train ride to get there.. there's no reason to move out, no dorms and shit like that, it's just not the norm here.

Then theres the housing market... median house price here is $500k, that will get you a 1 bathroom, 2 bedroom single story house if you're lucky. A 2 bedroom single story down the road sold for $700k last month. To get anything cheaper you have to buy in a shitty fucken cookie cutter housing estate where every second house is exactly the same, and that's a very poor choice investment wise.

So pretty much I'm screwed...

My own kids are not much younger than you, and I am sure they are counting the days until they can move out so Mom does not nag them any more.

And I know it does no good to lecture teens/young adults, but I have to say the older I got, the smarter my own parents got. You know?
 
Most people I know moved out at 18 at the latest. I moved out the first time at 16 but I lived with my uncle until I was 18. Then I got a house with a few other people. I moved back with my parents for one summer when I was 23, but other than that have been out since 18.

As far as moving out at 17, I had a couple friends with late birthdays who moved out at 17. They all had to have parents or friends ( I wasn't doing it for them) co-sign leases, though.
 
Another for 17, rented an apartment, worked a night job, paid the bills as a "party supplier", finished high school. Too bad Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet.
 
I'm 19 and living at home, parents still cover most of my expenses allowing me to re-invest all my earnings back in to my business so I'm in no major rush. My brother (who's 23) will be moving out soon and buying a house, I'll probably move in with him in a year or two when I have a better income, that way I wont be forced to live on noodles. :banana_sml:
 
I grew up poor. And I mean POOR. I grew up in a trailer house (albeit on 3 acres of land) in a factory town in northern Minnesota.

MN has a program where you can attend college classes starting as a junior - it is intended to let people get some credits but the loophole is that you can go full-time.

I left home and moved into a dorm about 1 month after turning 17. I graduated when I was 20, and started my own company when I was 23.
 
I moved out when I was 16 and stayed with friends until after high school. Then worked 3 jobs and got my own place. Good times !

Living on your own at a young age builds character.
 
I moved to Costa Rica from Canada when I was 19, to live w/ my dad.. that lasted about 2 months till I moved out on my own there. It was good times :D

I dormed at college for a year when I was 18 and then moved back in because I couldn't stand it. It was fun for a while but I'm much more comfortable at home, not sharing a bathroom with a bunch of other disgusting dudes, and eating real food. I'm 22 and have a couple more semesters till I graduate so hopefully I'll be moving out within the next year or so.
