When did you move out of your parental home?

Not sure going to uni really counts

I think it depends.

Live in catered halls, just take a suitcase of clothes + laptop and come back every holiday and at the end of the course then probably not

Go into a flat share, bring most your earthly possessions, only go back once or twice a year for a couple of days and carry on living in the same place after finishing uni then certainly.

Uni can just be the driver for actually moving out but doesnt necessarily in itself mean you have or havent moved out.

Left after Uni, flatly refused to contemplate going back. Lovely folk but I needed the mental space I'd become used to.

Rented for a bit then both Grandmothers died in one tax year so my vague plan to 'find a place to rent nearer the office' became 'buy a place near the office' (so family could & did deposit furniture on me).

Just turned 28 and Im still at home but Im moving out next year as I work full time and have been saving up. I like living at home, my mum works shifts and its actually useful me being there so I can check on our old dog and stuff, its almost like being with a housemate than my parent lol so I don't mind at all!

Left when I was 16. My sister is still there at age 24. I keep reminding her she needs to move out as half the house is mine when our parents pop their cloggs and I've already worked out she wouldn't afford to buy me out.

Parents were complete !!! h's when I lived at home, but now they come to me for advice and to get things done in their life. Moving out did role reverse. Except my father who never took a risk in life is drinking himself into a hole bitterly jealous that I have done so well in the world on my own. Personally I'd be a proud parent if I was him but heh ho.

What a lovely sibling / child you are!

If I were your sister, I would be hanging on in there and telling you, that when the time came, to bring on the court case!

I agree but if students weren't given huge loans they wouldn't be moving anywhere at 18.

If you gave thousands to an 18 year old worker they would probably move out too but the difference is they have to earn the money before they spend it

By this logic people who exist on benefits never really move out!
