I was 21 though, and still in college, when I got my own apartment with my now husband. I would advise anyone considering the same course of action, to stay with their parents for as long as possible. We never gave ourselves enough time to save money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-102131 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:15:58 +0000 owlmom 102131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lived at home during the summer when I was an undergrad. I started renting my own place year-round when I started my masters program at 22. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-102123 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:10:37 +0000 Modern Daisy 102123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't count college as moving out for me since I still lived with them during the summers, but I only lasted about 2 months at their house when I started my first job after graduation. I love my parents very much, but it was extremely difficult to share a house with them as an adult working full time. </p> <p>I lived by myself for the next 5 years until DH moved in with me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-102120 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:06:37 +0000 LAGS 102120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved out when I went to college @ 17, but was still financially dependent on my parents. Once I finished my undergraduate degree I found a great job and transitioned financial independence, so I guess you can say 21 is when I truly moved out/began fending for myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-102086 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:33:55 +0000 HabesBabe 102086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until I got married! Well, about 4-5 months before the big day... I'm an only child and my mom is divorced, so it was just the two of us for 20+ years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-102041 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 12:56:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 102041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved into my first apartment when I was 18, moved home again when I was 19, moved out again when I was 20 and have been on my own since then. I still go home for holidays and weekends, but have been self sufficient since then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101989 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 12:00:01 +0000 Crisark 101989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved out and 8hours away when I got married at the age of 19.<br /> I was gone 3 years and then when we split I lived at home again for about a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101983 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 11:55:51 +0000 Alivoo01 101983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved out upon completion of college for my job, so 21? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101471 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 15:55:42 +0000 mrsjazz 101471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lived on my own after college, but had to move back in with my family when I decided to come back to NYC after a bad break-up. I lived at home for a year--so I moved out officially when I was 23. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101469 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 15:51:53 +0000 MsMini 101469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stayed at home when I started to go to University, and got my own place when I was about 1/2 way done University, so I was about 20. I have been on my own, and not getting assistance from them since I ventured out at 20. There were definitely some broke days for the 2 years I was on my own, and attending University full time, while working part time, but I am glad I had that experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101467 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 15:49:02 +0000 BSB 101467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved out when I went to college but then returned for breaks so I don't really consider that moving out. I lived at home after I graduated. I finally moved out when I moved to another state for my job. I was 24. I did have a brief period where I moved into my sister home for 6 months. That was when I was 23. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101465 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 15:44:37 +0000 mrs.earrings 101465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 17. If I could go back in time I would have stayed at home longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101419 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 14:03:26 +0000 regberadaisy 101419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say I was 21 when I started paying completely for my own year round place w/o family assistance.</p> <p>Not sure how I feel yet about when I want our future kids to move out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101413 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 13:47:09 +0000 skibobrown 101413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went away to college @ 18, but I still considered my parents' house my home, and I would come back for vacations and summers. I really moved out (into my own apartment) after college, so I guess I was 22. I think that's an appropriate time frame to move out. I really hope that our kids can get jobs right after college and move into their own places, but I know that is becoming more rare these days in this economy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101411 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 13:41:24 +0000 Penny Lane 101411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved 8 hours away right after I graduated high school at 18, and have been paying for myself since then :)</p> <p>I kind of hope my LOs will be the same, but I'm pretty skeptical that it would happen, because DH does not have the same expectations in that area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101403 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 13:22:39 +0000 DigAPony 101403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left for college, and lived in a dorm, but moved back home for the summer after freshman year. I officially moved out into an apartment for sophomore year, but my parents still sent me a little money every month until I graduated from college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101389 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 12:34:58 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 101389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents live in Washington State, and I moved out to go to university in Los Angeles when I was 17.<br /> I have not lived with them since then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101324 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 10:14:43 +0000 heffalump 101324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to college for 6 years (grad school too) but my parents paid for my dorm and apartment. Then I moved home, met my husband, and moved in with him. So I was at my parents for a little less than a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101290 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 09:39:46 +0000 Grace 101290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved out when I was 17 for university (shared an apartment with 2 other girls). Got a place all to myself when I was 26 (and LOVED it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101283 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 09:05:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 101283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved out at 19 after my fist year of college. I don't just move out, I moved halfway across the country. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101278 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 08:54:00 +0000 lilteacherbee 101278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to college from 18-21 (graduated a year early), but my college was only 30 minutes from my hometown. I went home a lot since I was so close, so I don't really count that as "moving out."</p> <p>The summer after I graduated college, I moved into an apartment with a friend in the same college town and began working full time. I guess that's when I technically moved out. I lived there for a year and then DH and I got married and we moved to our current town. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101268 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 08:40:03 +0000 yoursilverlining 101268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved out at 18 for college, but came back for summer break and such, so like you said, that probably doesn't really count. I got my first place with roommates a few weeks before I turned 21 - got my own place (no roommates) around 23. It was a teeny little studio, and I loved it!</p> <p>I hope LO moves out at 18 for college, and then gets her own place sometime in her early 20's. I think its really important to live on your own before marriage, so I'll def push her to get her own place before getting serious with anyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101238 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 07:26:34 +0000 littleveesmommy 101238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also moved out when I went to college and paid for it all myself with either money saved from my high school job or a student loan, so I count that as when I moved out. I did go home for the holidays and summer. After college I started working upstate and only went to my parents to visit during holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101225 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 07:10:28 +0000 Andrea 101225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I left at 18 for college. But as far as paying for my own place, that happened at when I graduated college. As soon as I got my first paycheck, that was it, no more assistance from my parents. I would absolutely do the same with my own kids. I don't expect any more from my parents and I don't want my kids to freeload off me either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101214 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 06:56:43 +0000 tequiero21 101214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>except for a 13-month stint in korea, and a 3-month stint in nj, i pretty much lived at home until i married my hubby. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101196 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 06:05:41 +0000 chopsuey 101196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved out at 18. I moved back a few times between 22-27 though. Moved out for good at 27. I miss living at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-out-of-your-parents-home-and-get-your-own-place#post-101191 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 05:19:09 +0000 mrbee 101191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I moved out when I went to college, and paid for much of college for myself — so I guess you could say I moved out at 18. But I still returned home for holidays and summers, so I don't think that counts. I didn't get a year-round place of my own (a rental apartment) that I was paying for until I graduated college and started my first job. I was 22 at the time...</p> <p>When did you move out of your parent's home and start paying for your own year-round place? Also, do you hope your LO's move out out of your home hehe? </p>
