I'm 23 right now. I've moved out once if you don't count times moving into dorms. Once was to be a little closer to school, but I lived on my own and HATED it.
Living at home for now but hope to move out within the next month, me and 3 of my friends have been discussing getting a house for awhile, just still can't find anything.
But I'd say 26?

Your friends probably can't carry themselves on the interview or they just suck at finding a job/writing resume lol
This thread is laughable. Who cares if anyone move out early or stay home with mama for too long. People have different priorities and situation.
BUT If you're paying to much for rent . I have good news. Im working with a broker who got all the good rental houses and apartment for cheap. Starting from $600 you can get a decent/nice place to live.
If you're interested please feel free to PM me with your contact information and your needs.

- im good either way though, .......carry on.
....my man said struggling. na man, struggling would be panhandling, sleeping in your car, in a house with no heat in the winter. LOL@ struggling being a mere $2,000 reliable car and no cell phone bill. and you dudes is dead serious too. these cats is straight diva status and have NO PROBLEM with it.. but again im good.
- ask your parents how they lived starting out. and them to reflect on their past and how they started. im curious.
1) what are you talking about 'diva status'
2) it doesn't matter what kinda story you give us bro. I respect you since you probably made it out fine doing your solo thing.
3) a lot of people are DEFINITELY trying to prove something by moving out at young age. You really don't know people like this? People who try to act like they're ultra independent?
4) I understand your situation man, You probably made it. But lets be real and lets generalize for a second...
If people stayed home after school til say 25. and stacked a few Gs every year they'd be set..
opposed to...
leaving home and going to the unknown. Especially in this Economy?! Man, I respect ya grind but your argument is null and void.
- in all honesty i didnt grow up with those types. i did graduate with some that graduated early and tried to brag. but every last one of them ended up dropping out of college and moving back in with mom's. some even ended up in prison. but no one ever bragged on their living situation. not saying i dont believe you though.
- even still, yall keep missing me. can you stack hella g's at the crib with mom? sure. but every year after 20 and you're that many years behind where you should be as far as living independently.
- i mean, still no one has answered the question. what price can you put on those 5+ years of lost experience living alone while at home with mom? does it equal all those g's you stacked? is it really worth it??
- no matter how yall keep trying to rationalize it. it all just sounds like you wanna jump in the pool, but mommy says its too cold and to stay under her blanket. is it cold in the pool......sure. but not as cold as mommy makes it out to be. but you'd never know because mommy's blanket feels too good. leave it up to mommy and you'd never get from under the blanket into the pool.
- the things yall keep trying to argue with me isnt my argument. READ. stop getting so defensive.
........and im not even going to address the diva comment. if the claims and excuses for not moving out dont say diva to you, theres nothing more i can do to explain it.
....and for the ones having to move back in due to different circumstances (divorce, losing a job) I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU.
One thing that realllly irritates me, is someone who's older with this mindset that if everyone does it exactly how they did they'll be fine. Awesome, your way worked for YOU. It will not work for everyone else. It's funny you sound like my uncle, who coincidentally is the exact same age as you, and I had to tell him...things are nowhere near the same as when you guys were 20. I've been in 3 of my own apartments since I graduated HS, and guess where I had to move back? Each apartment I had to work 2 jobs plus my music hustle on the side...that's NOT the life a 19 year old should be living while trying to go to school. Not at all. For what? Because life is hard? Yeah that's obvious but part of being able to survive life's ills is preparation. So when my car breaks down or I lose a job...I can go get that money I saved and stay afloat until I get another job. Not have to be at rock bottom until then. That mindset you have won't work for everyone. Everyone is NOT that tough skinned, and to parade around this thread as if people your age were that tough, or that this is some new age thinking is extremely ignorant. There is no real reason to suggest that by 20 I should be out on my own. Most people at that age are in their 2nd or 3rd year of college, which almost always will not get you a great job. It's as if you believe parents can not teach life lessons while their child is home. It seems to me that the kids that "stay in the nest" until they are ready to leave run into a lot less problems than those who aren't "diva status". I can look at my own life and estimate I'd have about....20K had I not ran into the "regular life" problems that I did...and I'm only 22. You need to get off your high horse. It's good that you survived what you did, I can truly appreciate that. But don't look down on others because they are going about it a different way. Then again...maybe you aren't as mature as you are trying to make yourself appear on here...

Nah, that guy definitely has social skills and is a good interview. He's perfectly fine in that aspect, I've known him for quite a while, he can hold his own there. Either way, I forgot to mention he has gotten a couple interviews and he was waiting on a company to respond back to him.
California is rough on job market-wise and a few people have already talked about that as well. It isn't easy nowadays, and if you really think it's that easy even for people with great statistics (GPA, etc.), you should try applying to an engineering job in CA and see if you can get an interview with no connections. Jobs aren't out there for everyone to have in this day and age.

exactly. seriously, i've been looking for job openings really since the beginning of the year, i'd say 90% of new openings require people to have job experience. with so many new graduates, and so few entry-level "new college grad" positions, many people are not going to have a stable full-time job straight out of college. that's the reality.

To those of you that moved out at an early age (maybe right after college, 21 or so), how long did it take to you get that down payment for your house, if you have one?
