I moved out when I went to university at 17. I left Moldova to go to school in Romania - about 400 km away from home. I lived with my parents only for a week after I graduated - it was more like a vacation or a visit - I didn't even move my things in.

It was financially tough for a while to pay for rent and other stuff, but I managed - it was a good incentive for paying a lot of attention to my job, career, etc. I was NEVER tempted to go back to my parents . I live with my sister and brother (still) and pay for the most of the expenses, but I am happy with this situation - we get along VERY well. I hope, though, to have some changes in the not so far future
