Technically, 18 when I went to school. That is only for about three quarters of the year, with holiday breaks. So, I am not technically moved out totally. I still live at home in the summer and school breaks.

I have a ways to go until I get my degree and then my masters, which is pretty much required to have a decent wage in the state I live as a teacher. I may be able to start teaching at a lower wage and go to school locally while I get my post degree.

Earliest move out will be about 22-23.

18 for college 23 completely when I moved into a house with friends.

Thank You for The MHO*

I was 16 1/2 I already had a job at nights because when I got my license I wanted to have a car

It didn't quite work out like that but almost probably just about another 6 months after I turned 17 I had a car and my license and was getting ready to graduate so everything worked out pretty good

Except for everything that I thought I knew I realized that I didn't so I had to grow up fast

But I would not change one thing I would do it the same way

[AngryCarl3]

Pretty late. My parents should have thrown me out long before but I think they secretly liked having me around.

[foxsquirrell]

You are right.

[OlderAndWiser]

I was 16 when i left home and moved 350 miles away.

[foxsquirrell]

Good. I think I am going to more or less add a zero to that.

[OlderAndWiser]

You will leave home when you are 160, or you will move 3,500 miles away?

[foxsquirrell]

Well I mean who lives up to 160? I meant to add zero to the second number. The distance that is.

[OlderAndWiser]

Saying that you will leave home when you are 160 is a way of saying you never plan to leave home.

[foxsquirrell]

You were not saying you were asking.

[OlderAndWiser]

That is correct.

[aceleon]

never did never planning to. why would i? i have no intention of marrying or making a relationship aside from casual sex. i don't wanna waste my money on bills, don't wanna bother with chores unless i absolutly have to and don't wanna go to sleep in a house where there is no life aside from my own. what logical reason do i have to move out? remember, logical not sentimental.

[blueonblack22]

18 for college. Didn’t come home during the summer. Stayed on campus and worked 2 jobs and did a summer class. Then I circled back at 22-23 for about 6-8 months. After that I permanently moved albeit a short time frame before I bought my house (6 months to save on rent).

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

Boys should be kicked out of the nest sooner. This entire ideology of make the world more comfortable is keeping people soft. It's a parents job to teach their children how to survive. Too many parents let their kids suck Mommy's nipple for far to long.

[foxsquirrell]

lol you have a point.

[nastyb]

Sucking the nipple can also the difference between buying gold bars and stocks at 30 compared to throwing it all away on 2000 a month rent

[itss_lily]

i dont understand why some parents want their kids out by 18. the average 18 year old still has nothing. its toxic af. and with inflation and stagnant wages, its even harder nowadays to be independent

[AngryCarl3]

I get that it's much harder now. Living with your parents isn't ideal for personal growth.

[NaultD]

Historically multi generational home was normal. In the United States of America had a unique time period of growth where land grabbing and spread the fuck out had monumental wealth benefits. That time is about over.

[MrOracle]

I was 19. I got a roommate and got a small 2 bedroom apartment. Fun times. Not always easy, but mostly fun.

[BadApple69]

18 and I was gone. A year later I bought my first house. A year after that married and another year had my first child.


No time to waste.

[Smashingdoozy]

Whenever they are financially capable

[foxsquirrell]

Good answer.

[Iron_Man]

I never left. I stayed there because we were all very close and I inherited the house. Along with my brother and sister

[foxsquirrell]

So now the house belongs to you, your brother, and your sister?

[Iron_Man]

I would have to explain in private message. If you ever have time sometime, let me know.

[ThisSiteSux]

Parents? I only had a dad. I moved out with my student teacher three months before I turned 17. She was 23 and groomed me.

[Anonymous]

If you raised them right, they’ll be responsible and leave on their own

[LiamJHayden]

Never. I inherited the house at 19 when my dad passed.

[Carrie91]

I was 17/18 for school and 21 while in college.
