I moved out at 19. Stuffed around with TAFE for a few years, then worked as a drafty for a year. Im 24 now and a qualified chippie (only took 2.5 years) and earn pretty good money. I recently bought a 2 year old BA mkII XR8 Ute for $25k and i love it. I could have kept the hilux and saved a few more coins. You only live life once so a balance between being sensible and enjoying yourself is what you need (in my opinion). A house is a HUGE commitment and probably a lot of stress too. I have decided to wait until im in a sturdy relationship and buy together. Two incomes would make it a world easier. I figure that if things dont work out in the relationshiip then the house is sold, money split halves (as that is prob how you would pay it off together), and each party goes their separate way. OR buy a house on your own and then possible get into a relationship, things may not work out and then they are still entitled to a portion of the house!! So why not have your partner help pay it off so if the unthinkable happens, the pain of the break-up isnt compounded by losing a huge asset that you have paid for solely. In the mean time, save a handy deposit and take advantage of interest rates. My thoughts anyway.

I was about 18 when I had my first go at it, moved in with my gf at the time, things couldnt have ended up worse. Went back home but am now spending a lot of time at new gf's house, although I'm sure it wont end up the same way!
If everything goes to plan I'll buy a house towards the end of next year, then we'll probably move into that together.

splitting up, the best for you is to get an investment property instead since you earn pretty good money. A lot of r/s problems starts with money, so if you have a few investment properties, and can buy your future house for cash and there would be no more money problems. |

After my accident recently I was forced to buy a new car, so my money that was there for a house deposit were put elsewhere. Luckily enough I got the trifecta on cup day this year to put me back into a reasonable position to continue saving towards my own house. I am now 22 and have no interest in moving out unless that special lady comes along. Would rather look at making a stable future for myself more than anything. Now I just got to find myself work to start my electrical apprenticeship.

Im 20 and i live in a unit on my old mans farm, its only small, but its damn good considering we both built it 3years ago in about 4 months.
So i guess im technically 'moved out' as in, no curfews, no real rules... just no burnouts on the driveway ![]() I couldnt leave him here on his own though, so im sticking around....

I can't believe how many people are so old and still at home :\
I'm 19 and only reason i'm at home is waiting until a friend is on 2nd year apprentice wages so we can afford to move out.. Don't get me wrong, I have a great family, but jeeze, give your folks (and yourself) some space!! Plus the shenanigans you can get up to with no folks around is a bonus.

LOL, it may have something to do with the puny wage one gets, then rent, electricity, petrol, phone, mobile phone, computer/games...ps2/xbox, food,alcohol, clothes, going out...somewhere..and anything else you can think off, could be why alot of people still stay at home.My brother his g/f and kid are at my parents place and pay $100.00 a week total, thats for every thing....

I was 18 when my dad boot his boot up my bum and told me to get out. If your parents aren't asking you to go? Stay, enjoy the life and save up a heap of cash while your there. Then when you do move out, you'll be far better off.

OK I might just win this.
Left home at 13, to go live at boarding school for five years in Adelaide. Never went back home again. Stayed every where but home in Victor Harbor. On holidays from school it was off some where else. Parents were unhinged. But at the time I thought it was my fault... oh well, time marches on. Older & wiser. |
