21 is when I found myself a place to live. I got married at 26 to a wonderful guy. Now we both live together

Answer 5

18.  It wasn't really that big of a deal.  I lived in a dorm room so it took a while to feel like home.  I mean, it was an 11x14 box with a bathroom down the hall and no kitchen that I was sharing with another guy.  We made the best of it though.  And boy did I change.  The person I was at the end of the summer after my senior year of high school and the person I was at the end of the summer after my freshman year of college are completely different people.  So be ready.

Answer 8

i moved out when i found out i was pregnant at 17 and it took a while for it to feel like home again but then if you ain't got some body to share it with it can kind of get lonely but i had my child and a dog and a cat to keep me company but i tell people not to rush on moving out so quick take your time my cousin is 24 and she just moved out of my aunts house so don't rush take your time take some stuff to the new place and spend a couple nights there and then go back to your parents house and take time getting use to the place. yes it did change me alot as a person because i felt grown and didn't have to follow any curfew that parents set but i still missed home being annoyed by my younger brothers and sisters  but it was fun to be on my own

Answer 9

Answer 10

18. Two months, It makes you realize the real hardships in life and gives you a better sense of responsibilty.  

Answer 11

I'm 17, and I'm in the process of moving out.  It takes a while for a place to feel like home.  Whether or not it changes you depends on whether or not you're living alone, living with someone else, etc.  I'm living on my own and I've changed for the better; I've became much more independent.

Answer 12

Since I went to college. It took me about 1/2 a year to accustom to everything. I learned to take care of myself and how to be brave. I love being independent.

Answer 13

19

it was scary, but i had saved a lot of money to i was ready

i went to school, so met a lot of people in same situation

did it change me? i honestly think it saved my life. it was an abusive home that i grew up in, so it was perhaps a bit different than the 'norm'

Answer 14

when I was 20.. i moved out with my cousin, we rent our fist apartment... that was a hard time because we learned how to be an independent persons... but was the best step i made!

Answer 15

Answer 16

I was 16 and it took about 2 months till it felt like home again

Answer 17

When I was 18.  It took about 3 or 4 weeks for the new place to feel like home.  I moved back in a year and 2 weeks later when I was 19.  The boyfriend that I had became more controlling when we lived in that apartment together.  

Answer 18

Stay at home as long as possible and save your money.Pay your parents a little bit every month eg:$300.00 a month to keep you around.Dont ever move until they kick you out and you have a big fat bank account.

Answer 19

18. it was hard packing up all the stuff and moving it. it didn't take very long, i moved in with my boyfriend. it really did change me as a person.

Answer 20

19 but I moved in with my married sister when my mother left my alcoholic and abusive father. It never felt like home because it was hard for me to not feel guilty since my sister had JUST gotten married. My mom had gone to live with her best friend (due to the fact that my sis lived in a 2-bedroom apartment) and I REALLY felt like I was invading my sister's new life. She NEVER complained because I helped out, plus, I had a part-time job AND was in my first year of college. It changed me forever but it also was the beginning of my dad's walk to sobriety. I would do it again but would make sure I took steps to make sure I finished school. I never made it past my first year but at least I have a work ethic that I am proud of.  

Answer 21

As far as I am concerned I have completed 71 years of my age.  And when I have an occasion on my life I can calculate that I had been shifting on from one idea to another and much changes came in my life and even now I can change if an occasion comes to me.

Answer 22

18 moved out had job and bought all the things before hand to live with as it turned out instead of moving out i got married and moved out and it was ok you learn alot and grow up its nice being on your own and you learn to budget and stuff you change as a person with alot of respect for others and stuff.
