Default When Did You Cut The Cord?

Simple question:

When did you all leave the safety and dependance of your parent's house to live on your own?

18 - I moved to Worcester, MA for School, vowing to never come home.
20 - Moved back in with my parents.
20.5 - Moved to Micco, FL, for flying, ended up going to JAX, ATP etc. Was going to be a free spirit and go wherever the airplanes where.
21 -Moved back in with my parents.
23 - Got an appartment with my Fiance.
23.75 - Bought the rental property from my landlord.

I am seriously not going back. I think it would be less enticing if my parents didn't live on the lake with my jet ski and my dog....

18 - went away to college
22 - Graduated and got a job far far away from home
23 - Got a different job back where college was, also far far away from home.
24 - Parents decide they dont want any of the kids moving back (I'm the oldest). Sell house, get divorce get new places that don't have extra room.
Now I own my own house and hope I never have to move in with any parents or especially inlaws. My mother and father now have larger places than right after the divorce so I guess I could be option, not a good one.

When I went off to college in 1980 as an 18 year old. Never lived at home again. Spent the last 20 years in the Army.
