I was 21. I came back home from college. I had 3 ferrets and was used to being on my own so I moved out a few months after getting back to Minnesota.

I didn't mind paying for myself. It feels good to know you can take care of yourself without needing to rely on anyone else.

Never really lived alone, 'cause I got married before I left the army. My wife is my surrogate mother, LOL.

Good responces...

I live in cali and I would need about 1000$ a month to merely survive.....

Im still in school, so I would have to work a partime job plus go into debt to live on my own... so thats why I still live at home (Turning 21 next month)

I officially left home to take care of myself when I was 21. I moved into an apartment at my grandfather's house. My mother owned the home, so I didn't have to pay rent. However I had to pay utilities. It was nice. I left NYC when I was 22 and moved to VA to start my life over. I didn't have any family, friends or acquaintances in the D.C. metropolitan area. Best decision of my life.
