| How old were you when YOU moved out?
So I've been thinking about this lately and thinking about my future. I'm wondering at what age did others move out of their parents' place and what was your greatest challenge? How did you overcome it?

be asian..u dont move out. and if you do it's because u are better off than ur parents. Your parents will therefore move in with you. Note that even if you are super wealthy with lets say 2mil in assets and own 2houses. your parents will still live in your house given that they don't own houses.

Moved out when I was 19. I'm still 19!
Greatest thing to overcome is definitely money. Rent, insurance, food, etc.
It wasn't too bad for me because I've got a couple of roomies, and our rent and utilities is cheap | |

I first moved out when I was 19. My parents wanted to start charging me rent to encourage me to get another job, and do something with my life. Anyways, their plan to motivate me greatly backfired, and they encouraged me to move back, rent free. That all happened in a month.
I really moved out at 22. I had acquired a decent paying job, and could afford moving out on my own. The greatest challenge was having no one to blame things on, but yourself. Dirty dishes. Filthy bathroom. Crusty floors. Yeah... it was all me. Eventually, you work out a system.

I moved out when I was 22. I am asian as well (not sure why it really matters)
Like what other people are saying, expenses in my opinion are the hardest thing to work out. The first few months is probably the hardest since you have to pay for new furniture, appliances, cookware, etc. And all these things will start to add up.
As long as you make a decent wage and are smart with your money, you should be fine after settling in in your place.

The biggest challenge will always be money because you can't just blow it all on partying. You have to think about rent, food, bills etc before looking at what you have left for entertainment. You overcome it by setting priorities in your life which matter more then going out to party every weekend

Unless you are loaded or get paid tons of money,
more freedom but less entertainment is the best way to describe it when moving out

26 & still at home. Saving for downpayment. I don't think I'll ever truly move out since I plan to bring my mom along whereever I go.

Moved out when I almost turned 19. Been out for a year, and it's been great. The freedom you get is wonderful and making your choices empowers you. But I feel like a lot is pulling me back. I've managed to save some money and had help from another side of the family, but even with the money in the bank I'm considering moving back in until the end of either my university career or the start of a steady source of income. Sometimes it might just be time to let go of your pride and make the smarter and easier choice or I could prove to no one but maybe myself. I may have toughed it out in the world, but did I make the most out of my time to help me advance myself to where I want to be....
It's a tough choice.

I go to school in Onterrible so I moved out when I was 18, aka September of 2009. Really liking the independence not so much the household chores.

i plan to move out when i'm 22. Money shouldn't be too much of an issue after i finish school and get a job...i think the biggest hurdle is probably learning to cook on my own...since i have ZERO cooking experience.

I had the same situation as most of you guys, but I rather be strong and stay with my folks. You can save up tons of money for your future or your project car, and go back to school and get an actual career. Until then you will get a good job and eventually move out have a girlfriend and maybe marry her and start your own life from there.

Moved out when I was 26, the day I signed my life away (i.e. got married).
And I'm asian.

Still living with my parents and trying to save up for a down payment, but it is soo hard not to spend all your disposible income, especially considering what board I am a member of.

One things for sure, once you leave I don't think you'd ever go back unless you had to because of financial reasons. It's been said but it changes your priorities because you don't have nearly as much disposible income. Once you start having kids then it really gets sketchy. If we didn't get into the real estate market when we did I don't know how we'd do it starting now.

Moved out when I was 25. Sort of had to since my mom found a place to live while we were still looking for one. I'd say money is the hardest thing for me since my boss laid me off a couple weeks after I moved out and I haven't been able to find work since (I'm still 25 btw).

20 to go to Kelowna for two years before coming back home, and then again at 23 to head to Ontario for school. The biggest challenge for me wasn't financial, it was just the fact that I'd gotten really used to being around my family, particularly my mother. I come from a really close family so being away (depending on where you move to) can be a drain on you mentally.
