If I would have known then what I know now, I wouldn't have bought a house until a little later in life and possibly not have moved out until then, depending on my age.

I went to college, then went to Southern California for an internship for a while, came back home & worked for 2 years, then moved out when I got married. H and I did not live together before we got married. But we boned a lot- even before we were dating, so we didn't tie the knot for sex, lol.
I left at 18 to go to college, then came back the summer after my freshman year. Then I stayed with my parents for about 3 months after getting a divorce when I was about 28. I was building a house and staying with them made the most financial sense. I feel like I officially moved out when I started college, and that the other two times I was just temporarily staying with my parents.

Came to the US at 17 as a freshman in college. It was a year long exchange program except for I never left.....(I did go home the summer after my freshman year but once I came back for my sophomore year I did not go home again for 9 years and was completely on my own financially)
left for college and dorms when I was 18. moved back home for the next 2 summers. I still considered that "living" with them since all my stuff was at home with me. I stopped dragging my stuff home for breaks my junior year of college, since I became a summer RA in the dorms and thus wasn't forced to move out. so I guess officially when I was 20. and my parents gave me the last of my stuff from their attic when I got my first apartment, at 22.
17, I was kicked out (I knew everything about everything and wouldn't follow the house rules).
I moved in with my then boyfriend, we dated about 4 years. When the abuse became too much to bear, mom and dad let me move home. I stayed there for about 2 months, to get my poop in a group, and moved out on my own. I never looked back.
I was 19 and moved in with my boyfriend (now husband). My grandparents had sold their house and were moving across the state and I wasn't willing to go with them.

I was 18 and moved 4 hours away for college. After college was over, I think I stayed about 2 full nights at my dad's house, said "fuck this shit." I moved in with my BF, now FI.
Although FI and I are moving in with his parents in 2 months to save $ for house down payment...does this count (for me at least)?
19. I basically hated my parents at the time and moved to the same school my ex-boyfriend was attending. SMART CHOICES! Actually, it ended up really good for me. I definitely branched out and got a job that led to some pretty great opportunities. It was tough going financially the first few years, as I was completely on my own, but I made it work.

18. I couldn't wait to get out on my own. My family situation was unstable and my mom was making terrible choices. I did spend a lot of time at home that first year still though. My sisters are 10 years younger than me and needed me.
Stepdad kicked me out at 18, moved in with my dad since I didn't have a job outside the family business (and therefore no income and no savings. My stepdad was a peach) and then moved from dad to ex-H at 20.
