Invincibles Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Any before you reply, I'm not talking about moving out for college/university. I mean permanently leave your family/parents home and live on your own.
Gladiator Posted July 25 Posted July 25 (edited) I did so twice. I had moved out on my own originally when I was 21 for about 2-3 years, but I ended up getting laid off from my job and moved back in with my dad. I probably could have bounced back and kept at it if I wasn't living beyond my means prior to getting laid off but I was very financially irresponsible. It wasn't until I was 26 that I moved out again. Edited July 25 by Gladiator
ccfan007 Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Few months after I turned 18, left and moved to another state with a friend. Never went back!
BGKC Posted July 25 Posted July 25 I was 17. My mom was fiscally irresponsible and made us pay rent/always asked for money, so I figured it wasn't worth it and moved in with roommates in the middle of my senior year of high school.
Julia Fox Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Since this year. I got a good job and now I rent an apartment with my boyfriend at 24 with no help from my parents/family
Burn Posted July 25 Posted July 25 Don't know why moving away for college/university wouldn't count. I moved away at 18 when I started university, and I never moved back home after that, so 18 is when I permanently left my family/parents home and lived on my own. 5
Goaty Posted July 26 Posted July 26 I left at 18 for college, returned home at 20 for one year, and then left for college again and have lived on my own ever since
May Posted July 26 Posted July 26 uni at 19 till 23 lived back w parents for 2 years permanently moved out at 25 and living in the countryside isolated on my own and HAPPY
Gorjesspazze9 Posted July 26 Posted July 26 18 when I went to college. But I lived in a dorm. Got my first apartment when I was 22. 1
JustHoran Posted July 26 Posted July 26 I was I believe 18, and it was very hard but it really was worth it. I learned a LOT.
zach Posted July 26 Posted July 26 (edited) I lived with my parents till I was 26; never moved away for college or anything. I didn't have to pay rent, so I was able to save a lot of money. When I did move out it was into the home that me and my partner purchased together (this was in late 2021, so we've been living together for almost 3 years now). Edited July 26 by zach
rabbitmoon Posted July 26 Posted July 26 Moved out at 18, had to come back for 6 months (live-in partner was arrested and it finally clicked for me that they were abusive) at 24, but have been on my own since. Just turned 30!
Sad Beautiful Tragic Posted July 26 Posted July 26 I moved out for university, spent a year abroad as part of my bachelor's degree, returned to England to finish my studies, then moved abroad for work, and eventually decided to attend grad school. So, I've been living away from home for almost 10 years now. I'm truly grateful for these opportunities because, when I see people who haven't moved out or left their countries, I feel like they're stuck in a "cage" with limited progression in their lives.
Pop Life Posted July 26 Posted July 26 (edited) I moved out at 21. Then one day at the end of the month the guy I was living with pocketed the rent money and skipped town so I was forced to move back home. It was an ugly time and living at home was more expensive than living on my own so it took awhile to build up the reserves to try again. Finally managed to leave for good at 25.

Nico Robin Posted July 26 Posted July 26 22 when I finished my traineeship. Moved then together with my best friends of 18 years
Into The Void Posted July 26 Posted July 26 (edited) 26 for 3 months but I lost my job and couldn't afford rent and moved home I haven't left since lol Edited July 26 by Into The Void
Funnyfatty Posted July 26 Posted July 26 Last year. I was 29, now i'm 30. Didn't know life could be THIS MUCH BETTER Didn't know that your biggest enemies could be the people you grew up with I also didn't know that everything in life that you want to happen starts to happen when you leave the toxic environment. Best decision i ever made. And yeah whenever i miss them (i speak with them 1 time a month) i just call them. 1
