My parents were crabby I preferred to work instead of spend quality family time so they made me start paying rent and bills in addition to my car, insurance, cell phone, etc. Getting married and moving out on my own was no different to me really than living at home.

I was almost 16. Ugly family life back then...

Well I had a pretty good home life. I can't really remember for sure (it was a long time ago) but I think I was 19 or 20.

Live with Mom until after HS graduation, then moved to Dad's. I was there until I was 21, moved in with my b/f. By 22, I was back to Dad's. But this point he re-married and psyco step mom had a fit, threatened divorce, etc. So he helped me with an apt for the next year or so until I got on my feel.
Now I live in a house, but the rent goes to my Mom since she owns it but doesn't live her.

So really, I kind of still live at home since Mom is my landlord and really doesn't require much in the way of rent money.

I would have lived with Dad for much longer had it not been for my wicked step mother.

Traveled away on jobs so moved in and out from 16 or so on, then joined at 18 and haven't lived anywhere near home since.

It sounds like neither one of us had that great of a childhood. My wife was floored when I told her I had to pay rent to live at home. Her parents wouldn't dream of it.
