Kind of piggy backing off the real estate thread with this. How much money did you save up (or plan to save up) before moving out? Rent/buy/live out of a car?

I don't want this to turn into a 'oh look at you with your privileged life' etc etc. I just want to share strategies or stories on how you started out your adult lives. Or if you could do it over again, what would you do different?

I'll start with myself:

I'm in my mid twenties now, been working full time for about 1.5 years. I'm starting to look into buying a house and talking to brokers and so on. I have about 70k saved up (I'm damn lucky living at home with meals/shelter paid for).
