16? why? where did you move into? did you still go to school?

Moved in with a friend. Parents were alright with it. I spent about a year fvcking up my life, got too high to finish school. I'm 25 now and have no regrets. Finished up school and live on my own.

I moved out when I went to college (17, lived in the college town year-round, after getting permission as a freshman to live off-campus), but moved back hoem after graduation (22) so I could have the financial freedom to spend some time looking for a quality post-grad job. I found a job within 6 months, and I moved out again within the year.

my older sister didn't move out until she was 25, though... commuted to college from home. I spent long years making fun of her for it :p

Moved out when I was 18. Moved back in for 6 months when I came back from Cali and didn't have a job. As soon as I had one, out again.

I have met 50-60 year old guys still living with mom. They're usually pretty fvcked in the head.

I really hope it's "your parents are living with you, and you're being a kind caregiver."

Otherwise, you should PM StormRider and the two of you can arrange a play date sometime.

Moved out at about 20. Never moved back in. My sister moved in and out several times from 18-22 before she finally stayed independent. I know someone who is still living with his parents at 50 (moved out a few times over the years, but I don't see him living independently anytime soon.) Yes, he's really messed up. Not everyone in his position are mentally ill, but it's pretty common.
