When did you first move out of your family home?
His Response:Well, this is a trick question. I first moved out of my parents' home when I moved to the dorm at Central Michigan University. But that wasn't really moving out -- just relocating for a few months of a few years.
The first time I moved permanently from my parents' house was immediately after leaving CMU. I moved to Saginaw Township to begin my life as a programmer at Dow Corning. I was then a full-fledged adult.
The second time I moved out of my parents' home was after leaving Dow Corning (6 very long months) and a summer of fun. I moved to a rented house with two of my buddies. Halfway through the lease, they found jobs elsewhere and left me to pay the bills.
I left that place after fulfilling the six month lease and moved into a house that my fiancee and I rented. Since she wouldn't be joining me until the wedding, I got stuck with the full rent for three months. Maybe I should have moved back to my parents' home and made a third permanent move from there.
Oh, well. Live and learn.
