i lived with my parents until i was 23 (and 11 months), 2 months before i got married. that's when we bought our house. we didn't plan on living in it until we got married, but we got too excited. but since we had lasted so long of not living together, we slept in separate bedrooms, and kept the master bedroom as our retreat for when we did get married. we didn't use the master bathroom, either, until we got married.
I moved out at 19. My parents were moving and my options were move to eastern Washington with them or finding my own place to live. I chose finding my own place to live because I didn't want to leave the area.
18, never looked back. Kind of wanted to move back to ATL for a while after college but it's just an awful place now ... traffic everywhere, somehow the public infrastructure is getting worse other than the roads, state government is now run by total crackers, etc. my sister lives in Decatur and it's okay, but it doesn't seem worth it to go back there, even if there were no family drama.
If I moved back to the South it'd be to a smaller city like Nashville.
18. i hope to provide our children a place to live until they're out of college and/or married, so they can save all of their money and have a savings when they move out to buy a house.
I moved out of my mom's house (she had custody) at 18 when I went to college. In fact, she had a screaming fight saying I had been "freeloading" for 18 year (excuse me, what?) so I packed up what I needed for college, called my Dad, and arranged bus to train and left much earlier than my mom expected. My brother drove up my stuff later that summer.
I didn't technically move out of my dad's house until I was 23. I went back there each summer and then moved home after I graduated in June at age 22. I moved out officially the next January when I moved to Tacoma into a house with a bunch of people.
