what's your age when you left home and started your own life?

I guess you are right. I was 21 when I left home to take on a first job at a different city. I was away from home for about 6 months until I decided to quit taking on a job just near where my mom was living. So I moved again with her. I permanently moved out from home when I was 24 when I relocated again because of work. I had ever since lived on my own up to the time I got married and raised a family of my own.

hai i am 22 and yet to leave the home as i am doing my pg after my ug and i am really not looking for a job but a good bussiness.actually a job dont suits me

i left home when i was 12 :) was working the next week i am now 22 and i have a happy husband and to kids my son (3) and my daughter (1):)im glad i left my mom is very abusive ....:) Em

I was 17 when I graduated high school and left for the Marines. I really had no other choice because my mom was not only abusive but she wanted to charge me $300 a month rent to live in my own home! She just did this to drive me away because she knew I would be in school full-time. It was a good choice but I still resent her for being a bad mom in general and making me take off with all that baggage.

I had just turned 18. I had been working for several years so it was the next natural step. I didn't go to college. Later I did take some college courses, but for my own use - not toward a degree. I bought my first house when I was 25. And didn't get married until I was 29.

I was 16. I went to live with my grandmother and paid her rent and help her clean the house as well as go to school. My parents were complaining that now I was working I had to pay them rent out of my $15.00 a week check from the five and dime and still buy my own clothes and school supplies. I decided my grandmother needed the money more. However, when I graduated from high school, she had put most of the rent money into savings bonds and gave them to me as a present.

I left home at 18 when I started college. I did go back that first summer because the dorms were closed. The next school year I moved into my own apartment and was on my own for the most part. I worked to pay my rent and all. I did go home that summer for a couple weeks but I took classes, too. The next year I only went home for a couple week for my brother's high school graduation. I was working full time then (quit school already). I was 19/almost 20 when I got my first apartment and that is when I moved out on my own.

I left home at the age of 19 years old with my newborn son, It was time for me to take responsiblity for my life and that of my sons. I had no problem adjusting to my new way of life, I enjoyed every moment of it. I got married when he was 4 years old. (husband was involved in his life since he was 6 months) I am now happily married with four wonderful children.

I was 26 when I left my parents home, I had been offered a flat to rent by my friends at work and I took it because it was the right time for me, I had a good job and I could easily afford the flat. I needed my independence, my own space and freedom.

I left my parents home at 18 to get married and move with my ex husband who was in the military.

I was nineteen when I moved out and started my own life. I had already gone through two years of college... I bought my own condo and moved out because I didn't want to be my parents religion anymore and I couldn't live at home if I wasn't going to be.

Well I'm 20 and will have graduated college when I'm 22 so I guess it will be then. I have a sister who's 22 and after graduating college in Dublin started working there, but she still comes home every other weekend to catch up with her friends.

I left my parents home when after they promised not to charge me rent if I did all the reg stuff I was doing before I worked. My mother charged me rent when I was almost in 20, 300+ a month plus all of the other things I did, like cook supper etc. Then she allowed my eldest half brother who had molested me to move back in. He was 29 at the time and a major looser, AND she was not charging rent. So I left, found my own apartment and lived a happier life on my own. She did not like me working or going to shcool, and I think that is why she was charging me so much, she really did not like me going to college. Oh Well, it made me a stronger person.

I was 20 when I left home and bought my own house with my fella.

I was about 20. It was after I got my first job and tax return. I had gotten a pretty big refund and used it as a down payment and 1st month's rent for my own place. It was very liberating, but then I got scared being alone with me and my son. I didn't quite know what to do with myself, but then it was easy after that!

I was eighteen when I left home and moved in with my boyfriend. But I later found him to be abusive so I ended up leaving him, but after I had a baby. I took my son and left. I lived on my own up until seven years ago when I found my soulmate.

I left home at 19 years old. I moved to another state and in with my boyfriend. I went to college until I was pregnant with my second. Now I stay home with the kids.

I left, came back, left again, then came back, and finally left for good at 28 years old. I know that was old but I really was gone at 20, but came back lol

I plan to leave home about 2 years from now, that is when I'm 20-21. I think women are more mature and can take care of themselves and others more early in life. Men tend to be older to leave home, I think!

my story is a little long so i'll try to shorten as much as i can. i was living in a foster home for a while. at 16 i went back to my mother's as a test trial on the basis that i could return to my foster if things didn't work out. a week after i moved home children's aid changed their mind and told me i couldn't come back if i had problems because i was 16 but they had allready agreed to it before i left. anyway i wasn't doing good with my mother and i called my foster mom to say i coulnd't handle it anymore. she came to get me right away. she let me stay at her place for free until i was able to get on welfare and find my own place. so by the time that happened i was 17 and still in high school so that's why i didn't get a job right away and got on welfare to finish high school.
