Well, I used to work in a grocery store, saving my pennies for someday. Mama Leone left a note on my door. She said, "Sonny, move out to the country."

Working too hard can give me a heart attack-ack-ack-ack. I oughtta know by now. I don't know if I need that house in Hackensack, but that's what I get with my money.

I moved out when I was 18, I wanted to become more 'responsible'. It worked to a sense, and I loved the freedom.

I lived with my cousin, and friends came over all the time. It was a nerdy version of you average 'college' lifestyle... but it was fun.

I moved back home in about a year, and stayed there for 3 more years. I was lazier than when I lived on my own, so eventually I moved in with a friend again. Have been on my own since... and love it.

Though finacially it's been a tad rough at times... I wouldn't have it any other way.

Actually I can't have it any other way now... :(

But that's a different issue...

I moved out at 19. My dad had just remarried, and my stepmom was on my case all the time. I LOVED having my own place -- it was just an awesome feeling, beyond description, even though it was only a one-room efficiency.

Is that the place you still live?

I was 19, IIRC. Moved into a crappy little apartment with my girlfriend.
