How do people leave home at young ages without goin to college or armed forces?

[snaggykicks]

I have met a couple people lately who have been on there own since they was 18 but of course they have gov help and kids

so basically is it impossible to get out at a early age i thought the normal was 22 at least

I left at 18 - Been workin since 15.. sometimes gotta just put it together and find out what's good for you (Never had gov't assistance, unless you count going to USC medical *county hospital*). I don't think any less of people who stay at home - heck my older bro did it til he was like 30.

For me, I've always felt like I needed to be out -- 12 years later, I didn't come out too bad.

Well if you are lucky to get a good job at a Union then you can do it fairly easily. I have a few friends who went this route.

In Cali period!  I'm in Norcal and it's pretty damn expensive here too

Instead of wasting money on rent my thing is I'll just stay at home til I can get my own crib.  Been saving for the last 3 years and next year I think I'll be ready to be a first time home owner at the age of 25, with no parental help.

Yea im 23 and still live at home, took me about a year out of college to get a job, i didnt rush to move out though cause i had to start payin off these school loans. I've recently gotten a raise so i'm begining to save more out of my pay check, around this time nex year i should be in my own place.
