When did you leave home?

[strings]

Still in HE, but am applying for job which will keep me self sufficient as soon as I graduate (Starting date 19th June).

Unfortunately it will keep me stuck in bl**dy Wolverhhampton for the next 1/2 years

 

[Virgos Magician]

Moving out in 17 Days time to go and join the armed forces.

Uni at 18.

 

[Strike]

Left at 17, and currently living at the Crawley Foyer hoping to get a flat through a housing assocation trying to get somewhere in Mid Sussex, if not then it is most likely going to be Crawley (hoping its not a sh** suburb).

Strike - what is the Crawley Foyer?

Strike - what is the Crawley Foyer?

its a place where young people go that leave home for various reasons (usually personal), and have no where to go get placed here. Its like a block of flats, except u stay here for about 6 months, to 2 years, if you look after yourself and do well here you get a proper flat, Chichester, Worthing, Brighton, Lewes, Eastbourne, Hastings also have Foyers. I am trying to get out of Crawley for various reasons, and am having a application considered by Mid Sussex, for a young persons scheme there.

 

[Scarface]

Still at home at 23. Cant afford to move out at the moment and dont think any of my mates can either.

I see - thought I had heard of something like this.

Best of luck with your application for the young persons scheme.

I didn't leave home until I was twenty five however my parents, despite being quite old, were pretty open minded. I effectively had a flat in my parents place and hardly saw them.

Naturally they didn't mind 'guests' staying over.

 

[Shirty]

I moved out of my parents home (within walking distance of Withdean) to Basildon approximately 1 month before the Albion got back to withdean. Mrs Shirty has a lot to answer for

[Starry]

Moved out and supported myself I was 19.

I stopped living with my actual parents when I was 12 though, they moved to India for 6 years and I was settled in school in Ireland and stayed there.

[Stevie Boy]

25, only cause they brought me and gf a house to rent of them, otherwise i wouldnt have moved out

 

[somerset]

Left home at 17, went to london, worked in the city for a while, and lodged with various friends for a couple of years.......... never went back home ( apart from visits obviously).......... reckon it served to make me a more self reliant adult.......... ie not sponging off the folks for as long as some of the 'herberts' I have met over the years, and by the look of it, some on this site too.

 

[El Turi]

Bought my first flat with my girlfriend back in September aged 20. Very young to be paying a mortgage but its good to be on the ladder!
