How old were you when you left home?

I first time I moved out I was 19 and moved to South Florida with some friends. That lasted about 5 months, then I moved back in with my parents. I bought my first house when I was 21 and rented it out and stayed with my parents. I bought a second home at 24 and finally moved out and haven't been back since.

 

i moved into my own 3 bedroom house with a garage when i turned 18 and shortly afterwards but my tacoma and have had it almost a year now, and my 23 year old sister rents a room from me right now intell she gets married in a couple months

 

I replied 20,which is when I moved out of my parents house because that is what I am assuming you meant. However, wherever I have lived is my HOME, so I would say I never left home.

 

i was 16, and that was a year and a half ago!

i still call my parents town "home", i think ill always call that town "home"

 

Get a job, duh. And lots of hotpockets heated by a zippo

 

left home at 18 and flew 5000 miles for college. 6 years later Im still 5000 miles from home.

 

18 when i left home. Had a child at 20.

 

So true!

Left my parent's house at 18...

 

Left at the ripe old age of 15!

 

Good question! A buddy of mine had moved out of his place a month or two after his HS graduation and was having some money trouble...you know how that goes-college and working at the same time. Well anyhow, I thought I'd help out by spliting the rent with him. It actually helped us both out, I was closer to school and my job and so was my buddy. As far as a 15 year old being out on his own, well, nobody really gave a hoot haha!

 

18 years & 1 week.


Yuma Taco,

 

Where did y'all find jobs that payed well enough to support you? The mcdonalds down the road doesn't look like it would pay very well haha

 

17.......and went to boot camp.

 

18. >>>>>>USAF

 

17. Was facing a nice visit to Vietnam about six months later. Travel arrangements (orders) changed at nearly the last moment (war was winding down). Went to Germany instead.

 

back in my teens decent jobs were fairly easy to find as long as you were willing to work hard. Inflation wasn't so bad either.

 

24

 

16.

Crashed with a buddy that was 19 and in the Reserves.

Never really looked back.

I did live in my dads' basement twice after that for brief periods...once for a month while my apartment was remodeled, and one time when I was like 20 for two months during the summer between semesters of school.

Otherwise, on my own ever since.

 

Moved out at 24 and bought myself a condo.

Had intended to move out earlier but my father had a couple bouts with cancer and needed my help around the house.

I did boot camp at 17 y/o too (summer before college) ... was in the USNR before the USMC. A bunch of us did boot camp at 17 y/o.
