How old were you when
Jump to: Newest in thread
When I was 18 I au paired in Spain for my gap year. Then uni for four years but I was going back home in the holidays. So properly moved out when I bought my first flat and started my first job when I was 23.
My daughters are 28 and 24 and love living at home still. |

"Moved out of the parents house (for the first time)?
Have you had a kitchen floor reset?  "
33 I had saved enough to put a deposit down in 96 and I had to redecorate everything from top to bottom |

"19 and the best move I ever made. Getting on the property ladder was easy back in the mid-1980’s. I don’t envy anyone who is making that jump these days!"
Easy in mid 80s ? Really mass unemployment
No jobs but yes houses were affordable if you had a job |

I had a job and the deposit needed was a pittance compared with what you need today. My grandparents paid it for me, I was very fortunate really. |

My first place was a small flat in Birmingham that cost £17K. I loved it and the freedom it gave me. Looking back, I think they encouraged me to move out to make me grow up and be responsible. How little they knew  |

"I was 19 when I moved away to Uni. But moved back in aged 28 for a while
Kitchen floor reset?
What's that - new tiles? "
Can’t explain it as good as Russel Kane. But basically that crying on mum’s kitchen floor because it’s all gone to shit and you need to stay at home again for a bit. The specifics of the crying over a break up or whatever aren’t key to it I don’t think |
