when did you move out of your parents house?

forget the bmw ... i dont even know if i want to move back to my hometown ... its a big decision


well its hard to tell if i'll be able to make a full time income off AM or not. i just started to make money this summer, now i feel like i've learned a lot and have a pretty solid idea that i am on the right track. this month i am set to make over 7k for the month, but this offer won't last and i'll have to find something else to promote...

so its hard to tell if i can do it full time right now, but the way i see it now, it makes more sense to invest my time into AM instead of working for some online marketing firm

ok so aside from me being a dick, here's some real suggestions. yeah it's a big move getting out of your hometown or going back.

- have you considered graduate school? still will have time for AM, and if you get an assistantship or fellowship, you're paid for it with zero tuition. (depends on the major usually)

- if that's not an option, find a cheap place to live with a friend maybe, and get a job like was recommended here to where you can still do AM. $7000 in a month is nothing to scoff at, it's not "baller" status but it's damn good. now I've read on here earlier some guys do AM for 6 months while they do a real job to make sure it's consistent and they can handle the ups and the downs. 6 months maybe finishing up school or afterwards, doing a job enough to pay rent with a friend or two while you make sure you can handle can be consistent with AM.

if you can be consistent with it, incorporate if you haven't already, and carry on with business as usual, move out to your own place, etc. then it's BMW time (oh and invest your money too)
 
Moved out at 21 when I started earning enough to be able to support myself.

Honestly, I don't know if it made me any "maturer" or shit like people talk about. It's just something you do and that's it. Still the same person, and I wouldn't be any different if I was still living with my parents.
 
Got kicked out when I was 18 (before I was in AM).
Lived with the girlfriend for a month or so after that before college. Hilariously enough her Mom never figured out I lived there.
After that college for ~2 years, then AM full time.

I have enough money to move out now, but I'm going to stick around until after Christmas, so I'll just have turned 20 when I'm gone. Could've moved multiple times since I was 15, but between my parents asking me not to leave (I was pretty young) and going on "leave of absence" from designing every second week, I never actually left.
 
Lived at home til I was 20, but that didn't stop me from bringing chicks home and sneaking them through my window all the time. Sometimes you gotta improvise. No big deal.
 
I moved out when I was 16 and lived with my ex / on my own til 3 months ago when my Dad died. I'm 20 now and I'm living with my mom because I worry about her too much not too right now. If I could go back, I'd milk living the free life as long as I could. Even though I'm back now I still pay for everything and then some.
 
How did all of you move out at 17? Did you drop out of highschool... I didn't finish hs till mid 18, and while i was in the higher age group for my grade i wasn't like obscenely old.
 
Didn't move out until I was 20.. Never wanted to live in an apartment or dorm so I waited until I could buy a house (not affiliate marketing funded).
 
moved out at 18, because of college...

yeah definitely move out. even if it's in the same area.

buy a house only if you want to stay in the area for 3-5 years. if you don't then it may be too much trouble. it's a lot of work to buy a house. my advice is move into an apartment on a 6-month lease and decide within those 6 months if you want to live where your parents do, or in your college town, or another place.

oh yeah, and buy your bmw 2 years old and save a bundle of cash. a lot of this depends on how smart you want to be about money. generate an asset (a long term one) that is capable of putting off the amount you would pay for your car, then and only then actually buy it.

Wait until you figure out that the food doesn't cook itself, the laundry doesn't do itself and the fucking kitchen floor doesn't get cleaned by fairies at night.

A lot of times, there are fairies that clean the kitchen floor at night, little brown fairies with wings...

I graduated at 21 and moved out at 23. Unlike so many little rich bitches, my parent's didn't put me up in an apartment while I did my internship or while I started my first job. I worked until my debts were paid and I'd saved up 6 months of living expenses and then moved to the ghetto :D
