When did you move out of your parental home?
I'm going to be 24 soon, graduated in July, started a new job in Oct (£24k), will be debt free in 5 months (credit cards/overdrafts), and am contemplating moving out then.
I'd only be able to afford a house share (London £££), but I feel it's time to move out and get some independence, but at the same time am contemplating how much it's going to cost!

For me life was intolerable throughout my teens, so as soon as I could afford it I was off.
I lived in a particularly poor area of the country, I got the cheapest flat I could, and moved out aged 18 when I had a job that would pay the funds.

19 to go to Uni, but I left 'properly' when I bought a house with my boyfriend (now husband) when I was 24. We started saving when i got a job after Uni, that took a year and the house we bought took another year to get into liveable condition.0

Initially when I was 18 to go to uni but then I moved back in twice more after relationship breakups etc. I last moved out ten years ago but Dad is showing signs of what the Doctor thinks is dementia so I haven't ruled out moving back if needed.*The RK and FF fan club* #Family*Don’t Be Bitter- Glitter!* #LotsOfLove ‘Darling you’re my blood, you have my heartbeat’ Dad 20.02.200

I was pretty lucky I guess.
