I was 16 when I moved out of my parents and maybe $1000 to my name. I lived in some pretty crappy places and maybe took a bit longer to grow-up than some, but I always had my eye on the prize. Paid off my student loans at 27 and five months later bought my first house. My first place was a small old bungalow that needed a lot of work. I lived there for nine years and fixed the place up nice. Sold it for twice I paid for and just got my dream home at 36.
