How old were you when you got your first apartment?

This week it has been 5 years since I moved to my first apartment - and also moved to a different city. I was 19 at the time.

Dh and I bought our first house when we were 19. I went from living with my parents to living with DH. I never lived on campus while attending college. Never had the desire to live alone or with roommates.

I was 23. I lived on campus for 4 years of college, then with Mom and Dad for a year after that, then moved out on my own for a year, then got engaged to and moved in with my (now) DH.

An elderly 27. I lived at home two years and in the dorm for two years for undergraduate, and when I went to NY and then Toronto for graduate school (another 5 years) I lived in school sponsored housing -- not exactly apartment -- they were suites shared with several others in large apartment type buildings, but no supervision as in a dorm. When I returned to Texas for another 5 years of school (I was in school practically forever) I moved into an apartment. And how I loved finally, finally, being alone!

Got my first apartment at age 19, hubby and I moved in together at age 20, bought first house at 22. I still have so many good memories of my first apartment - what a feeling to be moving out on your own!!

The day I turned 18. I lived by myself and worked three jobs. I moved in with my now husband 3-1/2 years later.
