What age were you when you moved out?

BlueSpiral

Just something I'm very curious about. When did you move out of your parent's house or when do you hope to?

I'm thinking of moving out of the family home in about a year or so, when ever I feel I have enough money and a steady job to keep myself near enough to the surface. I want to move out to get some freedom from the family and to be closer to college, and I also really dislike being dependent on my parents for so much.

21 when I moved to Australia.

Before that I was a proper mammy's boy. Packed lunches for college and everything :cool:

My name is URL

I was 22 when I moved out. You don't need to be dependent too much on your parents just because you live there though, if you've got a job then you're probably paying your way already

17 when I went to college as well... Went home for weekends in the first year or two. The rest of college went home about once a month, so at stage I suppose you could say I was fully moved out. Most of my stuff was in my college gaf.

Started work at 22 in Dublin and have been living there ever since.

Moved out when I was 18, but didn't cut the apron strings properly until I was 23:o

Im 27 and still at home. Though i had 2 summer jobs away from home a few years back. I suppose it doesn't really count as moving out.
Not for long though. Im looking for work away from home again. It wont be easy but i cant put up with my sister's terrible moody temper tantrums anymore. I hope i never see her again!

Officially 27 although I had toyed with the idea for ten years before I actually walked out the door and knew I wasn't going back this time .

Took a job in Ireland for a while, then said "fcuk this!", trod the world for a while picking up more skills and experiences.
Now a lot happier and getting my leg over more often than not. Life could be worse.
