Poll: How old were you when you moved out?

- Start date
I moved out of Mom's house at 18...into Dad's. I moved back into Mom's house at 21. Now at 23 I plan to move into my girlfriend's house. I kinda haven't been doing well on the whole, 'living on my own' thing. Maybe before I hit my 30's?
I'll let you know when I do move out. It'll be too beneficial to live at home while attending school, especially with the minimum wage being so low, PST, and the cost of schooling.
Well I just turned 18, but I still get the High School excuse.
I am one of the world's biggest procrastinators, so even though I do look forward to moving out, I doubt its gonna happen till I'm about 19. The College I go to is about a 30 minute drive so I am gonna try to convince myself that gas is gonna be a huge factor in getting my lazy ass out of the house and closer to the College.
This thread just made me realize I gotta start thinking about the next three months.

I was 18. Had to move into an apartment of my own because, after a series of unfortunate circumstances, I would've been the only family member left in the house after mom's death, and it would've been way too expensive for just one person to live in. That was a fun last year of school, I can tell you.
I was 17-18 when I moved out to go to University. Still living on my own now that I've finished and got a full-time job.
I was 19 when I moved out, and 19 when I moved back in. I will be 20 when when I move out again.
I went to college, dropped out and I'm going again.

I moved into an apartment close to the college I was/am attending when I was 18, lived in a shithole apartment amongst druggies and pimps for 2 years, moved in with one of my friends who I was in a sorority with when I was 21, and i've been there ever since.
On reflection, I should probably have stayed at home for at least the first year. Regardless, it's all worked out for the best.

Left for Uni aged 18, bought a house while still studying and apart from a brief period last year I haven't spent more than a week at my parents house since then.
18. Though in fairness it was during the 90's when the economy was really good and moving out was super easy plus I had a roommate ready to go.
Add that on the list of advantages to having a twin!

I was about 16 1/2 when I moved out of my Father's house.
My Mother was in and out of our lives, and she was emotionally wrecked and abusive, and I was sick of my Father (former alcoholic) - so I got a job working for my exs Father as a clean up crew for newly built houses, and had a small place with my ex. It was pretty small. One room sized.Graduated High School on a separate program.
The whole living together thing went horribly wrong when he lost his job, refused to get another, and I was drained from taking care of both of us (already emotionally and financially). I also lost my job because my manager (his Father) was fired for incompetence and I was let go. Broke up with ex. because he was spending money whenever he could and going out to 'party' and drink at other females houses, and spend the entire night there.
Moved back with my dad for a short period. Mom finally decided to move far away and find her marbles. Met my husband, we dated for awhile, I moved in to his place, we lived together for a few years, bought a small house in a nice neighborhood last year, married, and I plan to take some courses over the next couple years in the hopes of someday opening my own business - and that's that story.

I'm 20 now (feels weird to say it really) and am living with my mom. We barely made the house livable 7 or so months ago. I doubt ill be leaving anytime soon. Still, i can see and feel why people would want to move out. I kinda do myself actually, if only for the being able to do what i want and bring over who i want and... do whatever i want with them.
Well... I was 14 when I left for school across the country, only going home around Christmas every year but I'm not sure if that counts. Otherwise I got my first apartment to myself when I graduated High School at 18.
My dad kicked me out just after my 19th birthday, but I moved in with my mom. I moved out of her place when I was 20, but bad luck with jobs and finances forced me to move back in a few months ago. I'll try a second time as soon as I'm back on my feet financially.
I was 16 #.# Well wasn't really moving out because I had roommates, I wasn't really living aslone until I was 18.
