Hello people,
How are you all doing? So, I was thinking about this and out of curiosity, I would love to know when you moved out of your parents house?
In Nigeria, young adults don't normally leave home till after maybe graduation from the university. It's so rare to see a young adult of 18 leaving home even if they wanted to and have the resources.
So, I moved out of my parents house at 21. Immediately after graduation. How about you? When did you move out of your parents house?

I left home a couple times. First was at 19 to go to school, another was a 21 to get away from my step mothers incessant nagging

I move out in my parent house when I was only 16, I stay in friend house and serve as a household helper in order to support my studies. After high school I work in a supermarket and support myself.

@ammyluv Our life before was very hard and my parents can not afford to send all of us in the school so we need to do something if we really want to finish our studies

I still live at home at age 25. With both my 24 year old brother, and our mom.
It's expensive to live here, so none of us can afford to live one our own, plus - we're family people.
There's literately nothing wrong with it, as long as everyone helps out and as long as we're all okay with it. As we're the only ones paying the rent and bills, not outsiders who mean nothing to us.

In these days it is not easy to move away as everything is so expensive. You are lucky that you get along with your family as a lot of people move out because they do not get along.

@ramapo17 I wouldn't say that. As we too have our issues. But for the most part, we're good.. and none of us would just move out over little things.

Here in our country, children usually leave when they get married or when they are stable enough to live on their own. But most of the time, even if they are married and/or stable, they dont leave their parents’ house. I left about 5 years ago.

I was 19, but back then rent was cheap. But not anymore.
