When did you 'move out'?

[wolf_Q]

When did you move out from your parent's (or whoever you grew up with) place? Or if you haven't, when do you think you will and where would you like to live?

I'm almost 20, I still live with my parents...which I don't find a problem with. I'd love to get my own place, but my main reasoning is just so that I could get another dog, my parents will not allow me to here. I really don't think I can afford it, however. I'd need a small house or part of a house with a fenced yard, and that's not exactly affordable, for me at least. Finding a place that would allow 2 med-large dogs isn't an easy task, so I think I'll be living here for a while!

I moved away from my parents when I was 17, but I only started living on my own when I was 21, after my granmother died. I would likely still be living with my parents if they hadn't moved to the USA. I wanted to finish my school in Canada. I would still live with my parents because it's WAYYY cheaper

I'm 22, almost 23 and I still live at home. It's great for me because it's cheap. I do pay my parents rent, but it's way less than I would be paying if I moved out.

I have to move out sometime this year though because I'm on a waiting list for a whippet puppy in 2005, and I'm not allowed another dog at home. But I'll cross that bridge when I get to it I suppose.

I would like to have a house with a yard. I doubt I could ever afford that. I really don't want to rent though.
I also don't want room mates.
*sigh* Oh well, again I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.....LOL

I moved out when Mark & I got married. I was 20 & he was 27. I was totally ready and so were my parents.

I'm 17 now and will be moving out this year for college. I'm hoping to find a place where they allow pets as I won't go anywhere with out my Seshy and Megan. I'm supposed to be getting my acceptance/rejection letters from colleges within this next month. Depending on which school I get into, I'm going to either Washington state or Cal Poly (San Luis OBisbo).

I moved out when I was 18...but it was for college, so I don't really count that. The way I see it, moving out is when you actually get your own place [not a dorm, not a college apartment/college house]. So, I guess I will be officially moving out in May.

I moved out of my parents house when I was 23, Rick (my hubby now) and I had already been together 5 years, and we saved up a lot of money both of us living with our parents, and we bought a house!

i'm still with my parents i am almost 24 and i am hoping to get freedom from them real soon i have a hard time mainly because i'm disabled and i'm on ssi (social security inssurance) and its hard to find a place under my budget BUT sooner or later i have to leave the nest so i'm thinking maybe 25 i'll leave i'm really hoping that hoping and praying take care

I'm 19 too..and still live at home. In a way, I'd love to move out and be on my own..but I know I couldn't afford as good a place for the dogs as they have now. They have lots of comfy places to sleep, a fenced yard, and someone home all the time. I don't think it would be fair to them right now..hopefully I'll be able to get something good enough someday within a few years..lol O_O

I moved out when i was 18 after I graduated.

I moved out twice in highschool. Briefly my junior year, and then again when I was 17, my senior year. But the first time that I got my own place was at 18. Bought my first house at 23 years old.

Well, I was out of the house when I was 17 and moved to 29 Palms with my boyfriend, who was 24 at the time. I lived there for a few months and then went back with my mom. It was hard doing things on my own, buying my own food, paying rent etc. Then I left the house with my bf, brother and his gf and we moved to Lake Isabella and lived off the lake for aproximately 2 months. I took my cats with me, my two hamsters, my toroise and my frogs. We took showers in the River, and got our food from the River. After that we packed up and moved to Vegas for a few weeks. We were pretty much just a traveling party and it was very fun! I loved living in Vegas and taking daily trips to the Coca Cola Factory. Then I moved back home, and ten days after I turned 18 I moved out and all four of us got our own apartment together. I've been on my own every since, thank god!

There was a brief time I had to move back in with my parents twice, once after my bf tried to kill me and I had to leave and go to a safe place, and just last year when Dan and I were having problems. Just one week is enough with my parents though, and I quickly left again. I just enjoy my freedom very much.

Eighteen.

I had an independent streak a mile wide, and I also fell in love with a boy and we moved in together. Didn't realise he was a huge dope head who also dealt drugs and became addicted to speed. Yeah, great choice Nicole! A whole lot of life lessons came out of that experience

LOL. It sounds like my first boyfriend. But the way I look at it, is it makes me appreciate my husband so much more.

I was 19 and got married. Big mistake for me. So I moved back in at 22 and out again at 23.
