I was out the door at 18, never looked back. I suppose things are different now.
I lived at home for a few years in college, until my last 1.5 years. So makes me out the door age 21, before graduating. Finished without college debt.
Very few kids graduate without massive student loans. Makes it a lot harder to get going when you have to pay a mortgage to Uncle Sam for the college years.
I also graduated not long after I turned 21...got married a year later, which probably helped with the "didn't move back in with parents" option.
My kids decided to work for Uncle Sam for a few years afterwards to pay for their college.
