At what age you become financially independent?

WOW. Lucky you. I can't wait for the day that I'd be financially independent and finally get out of my house and have my own place. Kudos to you!

hi sophistcated boy! I don't know how i call it, but I've been earning my own money since I was 20 years old... (so it's over 10 years now). i have my kid whom Ii'm raising on my own sicne I am a single mom. i do not receive any form of financial help from either parents, but I live in my dad's house for practical reasons. He's got a big house 7 bedrooms. and I wanna save the money I would pay for renting outside... i'd rather keep for my son

I think its when your 21 years of age, that's when you can virtually do anything legal that you want. I think teenagers even 18 and 19 years olds need a lot of guidance.

When I was 23 I started travelling, and I lived and worked abroad for a while. I lived in different countries and I had I lot of interesting experiences, but I didn't make a lot of money. My parents sometimes helped me financially, so I wouldn't say that I was financially independent at that time. When I got back to Denmark I lived with my parents for a short period of time, and when I was 25 I moved into my first apartment. At that time I was finally able to pay my own rent and my own bills.

In most ways I became financially independent when I was 18 years old. I was in college at the time and had my student loans in my name as well as carrying my scholarship. I also received money monthly as a benefit from my father's pension fund. I worked part time during school so I would have extra spending money and bought my first car at that time, paying my payments myself. During the summer I worked full time to have money to help me get through the following year. However, during my college years, my mother did let me live with her during the summer free of cost. Once I got done with college, I started paying her a reasonable rate while I looked for a house of my own. Paid my own bills for everything as well. As far as financially independent and in my own home, that happened when I was 27 years old. Took me a while to find the right house but in the mean time I wasn't ripping her off by freeloading.

I became financially independent at 22. Before that, I was mostly financially independent because I paid for my college education, food, clothing, credit cards, etc. My parents paid my car insurance and I still technically lived at home when not in the college dorm, and they kept me on their health insurance. At 22 I moved out and into an apartment with my fiance and then shortly after, we were married. I was always very independent - it is my personality. My parents have always encouraged independence, but have always been there to help if needed.

I was financially independent when I was 21 years old I have my very first job then, so I need to buy my clothings, food, but during that time I move out of the house of my parents. I need to rent a room because my work is far from our house, and I need to give the portion of my salary to my sisters because they are studying then until they graduated with a degree.

I became financially independent at the age of 18. That was when I joined the University and I got scholarship for the entire four years. I managed all expenses with the scholarship. After graduation, I got a decent job right away. So, I could continue on on my own.

I don't know Till now, I still try and hard work to get my independent finance. I don't know when I am be freedom and have finance independent, cause my salary not much.

With a few exceptions, I have been financially independant since I was 18. I have had a few times when for one reason or another, my parents and I decided that it would be best for me to move back in with them. I can happily say that I haven't had to do that for over 5 years now. I can honestly say that in some aspects, I grew up quickly, and others I did not. I used to be very trusting and allowed myself to be financially drained by others, that posed some problems for me. Since I have realized that fault in myself, I have really becoome for independant and now I think that my husband and I are doing quite well.

Well I'm eighteen years old and that has yet to happen to me unfortunately. I do love my mom very much and I like living with her but one day I would like to be able to live on my own and be able to stop leeching off of her. She works a lot and I wonder if I was gone if she would still have to work as much. One day I would love to be able to pay her back for all that she gave me by doing something great for her.

hey sophisticated boy.. Well congrats on your newly found independance. i remember when i was independant the very first time. Finally i felt like i owned my life. i can make my own decisions, decide how i want to live my life. And to show my gratitude to my parents, i buy them present, every once in a while.

At the age of 25 years I became financially independent. That time I am doing B.Ed with mathematics. From the begining I am self employed. At the age of 25 I opened Institute of mathematics and it take hardly 2 months to take grip . Now I am running high school.

I was 18 when I left home to go to my own apartment. I worked and paid my own way not just in life but in college as well. At 16 I had to start paying rent to my parents as well as paying my own car insurance and buying my own clothes. I think you have very nice parents to support you for so very long.

At the age of 22 years. I joined my first job at that age after passing the engineering degree. I joined a renowned software company in my country. That time I may not be earning lot, but was financially independent.

I became financially independent exactly when I was 20. I too gave regular portion of my earning to my parents and they were more than happy. It's so good to be independent financially. You can make your own decision and live a better life.

I think like you I became finaicly indendent when I graduatied High school and got my frist job. I was working my way thur colege at the time. my mom and dad could not afford to send me so I had to work for it. I did however stay at home while I atteded school. I went to a local coldege.

Not many may believe but I have been financially independent since 15. In fact I funded my own Graduation. I took up part time tutions to Primary Class students and immediately on turning 18, I made good investment decisions in the Stock markets and earned well enough to fund my education myself.

Very Nice..your parents are definitely proud of u ,I am sure :) I started off my career ,very early in life at the age of 16 by taking tuitions and as I completed my education ,I became a teacher.But after I got married ,I wanted to give more attention to my children and hence sacrificed my financialy independence,I am glad that I did as I have spent many precious moments with them and brought them up with good values

Wow, I can see you are a good son, and how lucky you are to get a job in bank right after your graduation. Actually, I depend on my own at my age of 20 also, my salary is very low at that time, but still I give them regular portion of my earning. Yes, it's time to appreciate their hard work and love to us.
