Do you want to move out of your parents' house?

Post Reply New Topic

I live at my parents house. I do realize how good I've got it here, but I want to move into a group home in the city. Where do you want to live?

I really do understand you wanting your independence.

Objectively, I had it somewhat good at my mother’s house. But I wanted to leave that home since about age 17.

I left at age 20. I am fortunate to not have made too many mistakes in my adulthood. I’m still doing okay on my own.

I feel you’ll do okay, too.

Same as well, I'm 19 and really want to move out and just have some peace and quiet in my own personal space. I would love to live in an apartment one day with my boyfriend. Hopefully if our relationship goes well it will work its way to living in an apartment together.

I bought an apartment with my parents' help last year and will be moving into it next year (it's still being built). I will be 25 then. (Where I live, the average age for men to move out is 30). Moving out has been almost the only thing on my mind since I was 17.

What type of living situation do you require? I require 24/7 support at home and 1:1 support in the community. The former isn’t likely to change but I’m hoping the latter does at least in some cases. I am unable to navigate public transit for now.

I would love to move out, be on my own, and with as little support from other humans as possible, and adopt a child.

However, I may end up needing more support. Hopefully my service dog can be enough in the end but I don't know for sure.

Maybe you would just need to transition and then you would get your wish.

Independence is my primary goal in life. I'm hoping to live in a college dorm by my sophomore year, which isn't technically "moving out," but it's at least a stepping stone.

Okay I thought this over last night and decided on a couple things. First, I don't think I will move into a apartment with my boyfriend right away because we've only been dating for a couple months. Maybe if it works out in a year or two I will consider it. Secondly, if I ever do move out of my parents house it will have to be at least in the city we live in right now. Reason why I said that is because what if I need help from them? Just thinking about moving so far away from my parents sounds stressful, not willing to do that unless it's way later in my life.

You can get support staff paid for by the disability services where you live.

My dream is to develop a close friendship with someone and eventually move into an apartment with them. I don't know anybody right now that I would feel comfortable living with and I think I need help from my mom too much currently to move out.

No, at the time, I wanted my father to move out. That would have been perfect. As it was, I left when I was in my early 20s. I rented a bachelor in a high-rise. I put everything in a taxi, except the bed went on the roof. Total cost: $50.

Maybe i'll do that one day.

I wish; but my parents don't want me to; plus it's hard to find a decent place when everything is like, $500 to $700 for rent almost, and I only get $1185.42 a month in Disability Benefits/Income Assistance, and can only make up to $800 a month on top if I get a P-T Job

I moved out at 28 and I am barely scrapping by at 740PLN/month (disability pension) while paying 500PLN for rent and 120PLN for bills. I am somehow able to get additional 100-200PLN for food and transport expanses from odd jobs or family help but it's a pain. I wish I had a part time job for lets say 1000PLN/month.

And I am not planning to go back to my parents house.

^^^Man that sucks! You get to spend a grand total of 30 US dollars per month if you don't get any other payment for the month.
