I am fearful that I will never move out of my mother's house, which is why I have created this poll to see how old others were when they 'left their nest'.

I don't think I'm applicable but if it's any consolation my daughter lives at home with me, she's 23 and there is no sign of her moving out any time soon.

I moved out when I was 19. It would've been sooner but I had Leukaemia at 16/17. As soon as I was healthy again, I got a job, saved up and moved out. I've never looked back since, and I'm now 26.

I'm 23 and still living at home. I have no idea when I'm going to move out. Part of me wants to, the rest of me is terrified.

Less than a month after I turned 18. I started preparing to go when I was about 12.

I moved out at around 18 or so. Then I moved back in. Then I got another place and moved out. When that place was finished with I moved back in til I got another place. I repeated this cycle about 10 times.

I moved out at age 29, when I landed my first job in Chicago. I moved back 5 years later, after losing that job. I moved to Philadelphia at age 37, and back home at age 39 to stay until mom's death and my brothers, decided I was a loser and threw me out permanently (and told me to f!ck myself, then to kill myself) at 54.

23 :oops: And that pisses me off because it was all down to ignorance. I believed I had no other choice. No money, couldn't hold a job, couldn't expect a girlfriend/boyfriend to support me because I couldn't keep one of those either, I thought it was either stick it out in my parents' house or die on the streets. If I had known about the social services available specifically to young people, I would have been the hell out of there the moment I turned 18.
