my mother has a fear of living alone, so she'd like for me to never move out

I currently reside in my car out front though

whaaa? she can't be that annoying can she?

If I lived in my car, it would be covered with band stickers like it was my room.

yes...yes she can be

we just have different personalities
She's really talkative, fussy, and likes alot of interaction

I'm more quiet, and admittedly a bit of a moody loner at times

so we get on eachother's nerves alot

Got my mortgage at 20

18 for me.

19, for awhile, then moved back, then moved out off and on, but always came back until 2002 when i moved out for good.

18, and never moved back in.

For good? 25. First time, 15.

14. Lived in foster homes for awhile after that. Became an emancipated minor (through the courts) at 17.

first at 16. for good at 19.

I left for college when I was 18, and with the exception of a couple of summers spent at home, I lived on my own pretty much throughout all of college. Then just after college, I lived with my mom for a year while I decided what I wanted to do next, then I moved to NYC. I have moved around a bit since then, but I've been on my own ever since.

Well I still do,but they don't. My parents divorced,both moved out,and now I rent from my Mom since she owns the house.

17 years old. I graduated from high school a year early, and after doing so, I went straight to college, where I lived in a dorm room.

If we don't count arrangements where I may have been doing my day-to-day living elsewhere, but still used my parents' home as my "permanent address," then the answer is 21 years old. That year I moved to Indianapolis to attend law school and rented an apartment with my then-fiancee. At that point, I was truly on my own.

My parents officially stopped financially supporting me when I got married at 22.

A whole lot stuff happened between the ages of 13 and 22 that could say I left home at a very early age.

My mom always said if I ended up pregnant before 18, I was out of the house or if I wanted to stay until I was 18, she would take me for an abortion.
Her rule about never moving back home is probably a good thing, I spent 2 weeks caring for her when she broke her foot. Those two weeks living with her again were very tough. Even though there were two times in my life that I really needed a place to live, knowing going back home was not an option, I just sucked it up and did the best I could to sort it out for myself.
I am not saying I would be as tough as her but she was a single mom doing what she thought was best for both of us.

still livin' with moms at 22 . i pay bills and rent, so we're like roommates

Wow, some of you moved out real young! I moved out of the house for good when I was 26, after I bought the condo that I am living in now. I had no problems living with my parents, but I was ready to move out on my own and to be financially independent. I love my parents, but I also love my freedom, and I could never move back (unless if my parents were sick or disabled and needed my help).

My mum died just after I turned 19 which left me and my younger sister on our own so technically I didn't move out but I was no longer with a parental figure.

The pair of us lived there for a few years but when I felt my sis was old enough we got places of our own.

Thanx.

It was tough for the pair of us but it really brought us closer together and as we got older the house turned into party central!!

18. I left to go to Art College.
