Poll: At what age did you leave your "nest"

[lacktheknack]

19 and still there, University is really close and they won't charge me rent until I'm done there.

But the rent will be pretty extortionate, methinks. I'll move out when I have a degree.

21 and still live at home. At the moment it's pretty tough to find work in Sweden, unless you've got certain education, and I've got some issues to deal with before I can think about it. As soon as I got a job I'll be able to find an apartement however.

19. Moved to an apartment and haven't looked back. Pretty close to buying a house now actually.

 

[Quaxar]

Depends on whether and when I'll get that job I'm going to apply in a few weeks or so.
Technically I already own an appartment but I can't afford to live there at the moment so it's mostly empty or storage.

 

[thespyisdead]

hopefully next year at 19 years of age... can't stand to live at home

 

[Distorted Stu]

about 2 months ago lol so 20. I would of left earlier but had family issues to sort out first

 

[Trivun]

Left just after I turned 18 to go to university about a hundred miles away (quite a distance in the UK), then came back just before turning 21 when I finished uni. Now I'm still here until I can get full-time work, since my part-time job isn't enough to finance anything more than my rent if I live away from home (it would cover rent but not bills, tax or food) .

 

[Flamezdudes]

Still here at 16, almost 17 and just started 6th form. After A-levels i'm thinking of taking a year off maybe and taking a break perhaps, maybe get some work experience and then go to Uni. Or maybe i'l just go straight to University after A-levels, in which case i'm hoping I can move away from home to go to Uni, I really love the idea of living in my own place or with friends.

 

[PureChaos]

i sort of left at 16 while at college but went back for weekends/holidays. moved back properly at 18 to go to a different college and then at 20 went to uni so only came back between terms. moved back after uni and, due to financial reasons, not left yet.

 

[The Funslinger]

18 and my brother still "lives" with my parents at 27.

But he does pay half the mortgage.

Yeah, can't really mock him for that.

OT: Still here. I'm doing a gap year in two years, and then I'll be moving out temporarily for University. Then I'm joining the Royal Marines. Not sure where I'll stay during leave. I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem to stay at my parent's, then get a job in the village to save my Marine pay. Then again, I heard you can live on base.

 

[Broady Brio]

TBA. First I have to get through college, then Uni. Even then I'll probably still be there until I get a good job from my degree in whateverology.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Left at early age 25 to buy my own house.
Now it turns out I should've moved into a so called "sheltered environment"...

So now I'm on the waiting list for that (1st in line tho) for God knows how long, and then I get to sell my apartment for 15 THOUSAND euros less than it was worth when I finished buying and fixing the shitty dump up. So yeah, leaving the nest: F'ing great!!!!

 

[McChes]

18, to go to university, then never went back. That's over a decade, now.

 

[Cat of Doom]

errm I don't know.

My parents full time address is in England, but at 18 I moved out to live in another property they own in Zadar, Croatia. I got a internship out here with EA and plan to live here after with my girlfreind, after i'm done. I'm going to buy the house of them when I have made enough though. So yeah... kind of moved out, but not at the same time.

 

[AD-Stu]

When I was about 22 IIRC...

 

[Sarpedon]

At what age did you leave your parents house?

Why the hell would I want to do a thing like that?

Just kidding, I just turned 18 this year, I'm still here and probably will be for a while yet.

 

[bluepilot]

Yay, out at 18 and still going in the full force of my freedom.

Sometimes I go and visit my parents. When I stay at my parents house there are all these magic fairies. There is the magic laundry fairy who takes away my dirty laundry from the floor and return it to my room clean. There is also the magic dishes fairy who takes away the dirty dishes I leave around the house and returns them clean in the kitchen.

Magic I say, magic.

 

[Silvianoshei]

I was 20 when I moved out. I stayed with my parents all through undergrad, and then I moved to chicago (where I am now) to go to grad school/med school.
