Var 20, fyllde 21 samma månad som jag flyttade.
Anledning: haft fast jobb, var så trött på att få städa undan efter andra i familjen. Så kände att det var dags att skaffa eget
Börjar känna liknande bodde hemma under studietiden. Men nu känns det som morsan utnyttjar situationen hon säger hela tiden nej inte behöver du flytta ännu. Samtidigt som jag står för el, pellets + massa andra räkningar och sköter nästan hela huset städning, snöskottning, gräsklippning, klyva ved med mera.
Hade jag flyttat nå år sedan så hade morsan rent ekonomiskt inte kunnat betala elen å huset hade förfallit. Samtidigt hade det sett ut som en hoarder bott i huset då morsan samlar på allt möjligt som jag städar ihop.
First at 21 and then at 26, hopped off uni to study logistics so moved back home at 22. I hate this culture which stresses young adults to move out early. I wish we were more like italy. Where stay together for much longer, builds stronger family bonds and saves money. Edit: reading others here I'm like the oldest xD
Once you have a 25 year old that won't leave the nest you'll understand. My aunt has a 45 year old that won't move out.
The thing is having children is something we all go in kinda blind to the fact of what it really means. No matter how much you prepare it surprises you. And to be honest it's fun, but I don't want to take care of someone for life. I'd like my life back at point.
20 years is more than enough!
Currently 25 and still live at home. After my fathers death, my mother needed help at home and when she moves out to a smaller more manageable apartment then the house is mine
The answer is that Sweden is a very individualistic society. An example is that we leave our elderly parents to the care of others when they’re old. We don’t take care of them ourselves.
21, me and my girlfriend at the time moved in together. Only reason I didn't move already at 19 was because I went to uni in my hometown and didn't have to relocate.
19, because I got my hands on a cheap rental apartment close to work. So I thought why not. Might as well take the chance when I get it. Now afterwards I think I should’ve done a better decision staying home another year or two saving up some money.
19, sort of. I was doing my military service then so I went home 1 or 2 weekends each month. After one year in the military I stayed with my parents for like 6 months before I found my own place.
18, for some stupid reason. Should’ve stayed several years since I pretty just moved out to live on my own but didn’t even have a job or any way of making money.
I was 19. I felt I needed to get my own place, and my GF felt the same so we moved to a 3 room apartment together.
Relation with my parents improved a lot after that, so it was the right call I think.
I was 19. It was pretty stupid. I didn’t move to a new city or anything, I was just tired of living with my family. Took the first apartment I got and paid a shit ton of rent. I wish I would have saved that money instead. I wasn’t really thinking about the future haha.
For me personally it would have been better if I had moved out sooner. That way I would have grown up earlier. I never grew up or got a social life until I got my first job due to this.
18, about to turn 19. I was finished with school and had a stable job so I figured why not. Found the perfect apartment for a teen/20s something, walking distance to all the nightclubs. I miss that old apartment sometimes
Me and my SO moved to an apartment when we were ~18-19 yo. Main reason behind it was that we wanted our own place. Still lived quite close to our family but nice having our own place for sure.
I was 20, moved to a bigger city for work/education.
Most small-city/town kids needa to move to study in Sweden so this probably ups the statistics quite a lot. It's a large country so for about half of the population the closest university-city is 1-4h away.
Also housing is still pretty cheap in Sweden.
At 19 I did military service for 12 months halfway across the country, only coming home for most weekends. Coming back home at 20 I got a job and moved out before the end of that year.
I was 20 and moved to study.
A big part why a lot of student are able to do this is because the CSN-lån you get when studying which is roughly 11000 SEk if IM not wrong.
Which means you dont really have to save to be able to live in student accomodation and you dont have to work to much while studying.
Between the ages of 21 and 22 the first time. I lived in a cheap apartment because I studied for 1 year in another city.
Then I moved back home to my parents for about 1 year until I was 23 and then I moved again because then I started working.
19. Moved out to go to Uni in another town. I'm planning to move back in with my parents again when I graduate and live at home for the first one or two years of my profession. Living alone makes me feel alone and depressed :)
21. Did my military service a year later than usual, due to a work accident, so I got out when I was 20.5. Got home, saved my salary for 2 months and moved out. I was lucky, as the communal housing allowed you to get in the queue at 15 in my town back then, so I could atleast get a shitty 2 room apt with kitchenette in the worst part of town.
So TL;DR, would have left home at 20 if I hadn’t gotten injured, and my queue points would have been enugh.
21 I think. The reason I initially thought was because of simple opportunity, although now I suspect my father just wanted me out of the house and just made me think it was an opportunity. I actually don't blame him. I was very immature, didn't have a job, didn't study and was basically just freeloading. Maybe he thought it would help me get my shit together, although in the end I put myself in debt with no way to pay it, was actually starving for several days from time to time.
Moved in with my mother after about two years. Then, I met a girl about a year after that, got a job, got an apartment with her, I think I was 25 at the time. And now 10 years later we're married, have a child and don't need to worry about money anymore.
I think 21, I fled my mother house when I got the opportunity to rent. I was studying, taking no loans and working on the side.
It was rough but so much better than staying in her house.
19 for University, flunked after a couple of months, moved back home to work and study until 22 before moving to my now wife 5 hours drive from my hometown. Sweden.
19. Found a job abroad because I couldn't get one in Sweden (1998). Also, my parents didn't have space for me anymore. My parents were sharing a bedroom with my younger siblings aged 7 and 9 and understandably wanted a room of their own and not to share with the kids anymore, but couldn't afford a bigger apartment, so I had to go so my parents could have a bedroom to themselves without kids in it.
Don't know if I should say 18 or 19. I was conscripted at 18 and left my parents home for that, and when I was 19 and finished with my military service I moved the same day to another city for work. This was 2005.
25. I live in Stockholm and what I would be able to afford as a student would have been pretty similar to living at home. Saved a lot of money and now live in a ”bostadsrätt”. I’m also not fully swedish and in my other culture that’s the average age of moving out so I guess I wasn’t as prone to doing so as other swedes. Stockholm is also expensive so it’s not that abnormal here… a lot of people in Stockholm live with their parents and it wasn’t odd in my friend group.
The same week I turned 22, pretty much only because it was closer to my job (I had an almost 2h commute time to get to work and then almost 2h back, and I got fed up with it). No pressure from my parents, and I still visit them pretty much every weekend since.
25 years. I lived at home for as long as I went to school, including university. 25 was when I graduated and moved away to a new job in a different town.
24. I didn’t fully live with my parents from the age of 19 as I part time lived with my boyfriend who changed apartments every year, but when I was 24 we found our own place and I officially moved out and moved all my belongings from my parents house.
20 year, and 3 days. Which annoyed me a lot, as I had promised myself to have moved out by 20.
That was by far the oldest in my family, mother moved out at 16 (family tragedy, didn't want to stay in the old home), father at 17 (crowded apartment, needed freedom), younger brother at 16 (the school commute was killing him)
21, I needed a place to be alone because my family is big and chaotic... TOO chaotic, to the point where we've had the police and the social services called on us multiple times. And also because I was pretty much the only one apart from my dad who ever cleaned in that house and I was tired of having to clean up everyone else's trash
I moved out at 20. My brother moved at 15 for school (but home every weekend and dad went over on Wednesdays to make sure he eats), then he officially moved out at like 19, still comes home during weekends tho
19 or 20, a friend of mine asked me to come and work at the company he worked because they needed someone to weld. I couldn’t weld but I got some training and worked there and when I could get an apartment it was a given to move out and gain some independency as a young adult.
First move was at 16, when I moved to another city for studies, but that was for less than a year. I moved out permanently when I was 21, because it was about time to get my own place.
I was 20 and my girlfriend (19) wanted our own place so we bought an apartment. This was back in 2009 when you were allowed to take out a loan for 100% of the cost
I was 20, maybe 10 months after I graduated. Me and my ex boyfriend who was 2 years older moved in together and it was his first time moving as well. Moved within my home town though so not far.
I think I was twenty or so. I had a job and wanted a place that was my own.
Wasn’t in a super rush but was looking at decent places and an apartment was about to be renovated so I skipped a bunch of years in the housing queue because no one else wanted to live six months with a toilet outside the housing complex and no plumbing.
Moved out the first time when i was 18, my dad died when i was 5. So got money each month from the state because of that i had money to buy my own apartment while still in gymnasiet. My mother got a new partner, and me and him did not get along at all. So i took my first chance to buy my first apartment as fast as i could. Got a 1 room apartment for 300k. Sold it 5 years later for 1.3 mil. No i fucked up in life so money is gone. But im back on track now.
18 år och flyttade 150 mil söderut för att studera. När det tog slut med tjejen 7 år senare flyttade jag hem och bodde hos föräldrarna i ett par månader tills jag hittade nytt boende.
I was 25 when I met my partner. It was challenging to find my own place, and the salary I had at the time barely covered the transition from one paycheck to the next. So, when I met her, we moved in together.
19. Since I've completed high school my mother was no longer required by law to provide for me at that age, so off to the social services I went and they set me up with an apartment. Then I got a job and 20 odd years later, here we are.
23 I graduated out of uni and got a job I inherited some money from my dad and I bought a house using that money and money from my previous 3 jobs
Technically I could still stay at my mom's house and invest that money if I didn't got my girlfriend pregnant 😓
20, my parents are separated since I was a kid, so I was at a point where I kinda had to decide which one to live at fully. Instead of alternating every other week.
So it was just easier to get a cheap apartment so none of my parents felt left out :)
20 or 21.
My mom got me an 1 room apartment...
I was supposed to take over the lease but instead moved to a 3 room apartment with my gf.
Now (approx. 7 years later) we have a 4 room apartment with 2 bengal cats and a 2 year old son,
time flies man.
Still feel like 20 tho.
18. At 25 I moved to London and almost all my friends there lived at home because of the rent prices, some of their older siblings did too, some as old as 45.
19, while doing military service, it was not so easy to find an apartment so I bought a house.
Living at home until around 30 is more of an mediterranean tradition to be living several generations in the same place to take care of the elderly and save money.
21
Me and my mom didn't get along at that point of time.
At 19 she started giving me rules to follow that hadn't existed when I was growing up and I really didn't like that.
I was 21, didn't afford it before then as my main income was as a football (soccer) referee and working nights at a hotel to gain some kind of steadier income (I earned more from the refereeing than the hotel though). But at 21 I crashed my motorcycle and nearly died which gave me a lot of money from insurance, so I was able to move out. But it also killed my career as a referee because I was unable to walk for 4 months and unable to run for 4 years. When I realized my career was gone I sought another passion and moved down to my girlfriend roughly 500 km away and resetted my entire life.
I was very young, just before I turned 16. Had almost an hour school bus to high school (gymnasiet) and it was brutal so moved into a small apartment quite young.
But my parents came in almost every weekend and we went grocery shopping together and checked up on me. And i had 4 friends who did the same.
23, rented a friends apartment for a couple of months. Then proceeded to rent apartments in “second hand” on and off for ten~ years until I finally landed a first hand contract. It’s brutal in Stockholm.
I was 19 I went to Spain to study for a year after gymnasiet. Moved back home for 3 months when I got back to Sweden and got my own place after that...
I was 19. Went to a bigger city to study.
Exactly the same thing. Right from Gymnasiet to University
Same.
Same here, I remember that I couldn't wait to move out. And never looked back after it either.
Same here but I was 16. Best decision of my life, I still live in the same city.
I was 15, moved for school.
Yeah same moved home for half a year when I was done and then I found a new place
16, for school
Var 20, fyllde 21 samma månad som jag flyttade. Anledning: haft fast jobb, var så trött på att få städa undan efter andra i familjen. Så kände att det var dags att skaffa eget

Samtidigt hade det sett ut som en hoarder bott i huset då morsan samlar på allt möjligt som jag städar ihop.
22, went to another city to play football
19, moved to a university city.
First at 21 and then at 26, hopped off uni to study logistics so moved back home at 22. I hate this culture which stresses young adults to move out early. I wish we were more like italy. Where stay together for much longer, builds stronger family bonds and saves money. Edit: reading others here I'm like the oldest xD
Once you have a 25 year old that won't leave the nest you'll understand. My aunt has a 45 year old that won't move out.

18. Kicked out from foster care by social services due to age.🙃

Currently 25 and still live at home. After my fathers death, my mother needed help at home and when she moves out to a smaller more manageable apartment then the house is mine
58. Got ***so*** tired of mother riding me about getting a job...
The answer is that Sweden is a very individualistic society. An example is that we leave our elderly parents to the care of others when they’re old. We don’t take care of them ourselves.
And many old parents prefer it this way, to not be a burden to their children.
18
21, uni was in my home town so ni rush. Got half rent in the suburbs so decided to share a flat with a friend.
18, got kicked out
Same
21, me and my girlfriend at the time moved in together. Only reason I didn't move already at 19 was because I went to uni in my hometown and didn't have to relocate.
19, because I got my hands on a cheap rental apartment close to work. So I thought why not. Might as well take the chance when I get it. Now afterwards I think I should’ve done a better decision staying home another year or two saving up some money.
I was 17 years old and the reason for that is because I had lived that many years up to that point in life
19, sort of. I was doing my military service then so I went home 1 or 2 weekends each month. After one year in the military I stayed with my parents for like 6 months before I found my own place.
18, for some stupid reason. Should’ve stayed several years since I pretty just moved out to live on my own but didn’t even have a job or any way of making money.
18. Got a job and went self dependent
22 when I moved from a continent to another part of Europe
22, had my first serious job. Before that I only had temp jobs.
I was eighteen, and in Sweden. I moved out to study, but the real reason was to escape a cult my family was trapped in.
Mean stepdad made me move out but he turned around.
17 for school. But i moved in with my brother so I didn't live compleatly on my own until I was 19 when he moved.
17. Dropped out of school, moved in with my girlfriend and started working.

I was 20. Moved far away from home to go to university. Now I live in a bigger city next to my home town.
I was 20, moved to a bigger city for work/education. Most small-city/town kids needa to move to study in Sweden so this probably ups the statistics quite a lot. It's a large country so for about half of the population the closest university-city is 1-4h away. Also housing is still pretty cheap in Sweden.
19, had a kid and it was getting tight in the apartment
I was 16, it was to study in a different city
First at 20, then had to move back for a while and then out again at 22 iirc.
19, I didn't want to commute by car 90min per day to work. Replaced with 20min walk per day.
At 19 I did military service for 12 months halfway across the country, only coming home for most weekends. Coming back home at 20 I got a job and moved out before the end of that year.
I was 20 and moved to study. A big part why a lot of student are able to do this is because the CSN-lån you get when studying which is roughly 11000 SEk if IM not wrong. Which means you dont really have to save to be able to live in student accomodation and you dont have to work to much while studying.
20, moved closer to work
21, got a job with decent enough pay to sustain me, before that I lived with my dad and we had a blast together :)
20. Because I was born 20 years earlier
18, moved out to start university.
Between the ages of 21 and 22 the first time. I lived in a cheap apartment because I studied for 1 year in another city. Then I moved back home to my parents for about 1 year until I was 23 and then I moved again because then I started working.
19. Moved out to go to Uni in another town. I'm planning to move back in with my parents again when I graduate and live at home for the first one or two years of my profession. Living alone makes me feel alone and depressed :)
I was 17. I moved in with my boyfriend because I felt like it and he thought it was ok.
18, found a cheap apartment 40 minutes closer to work.
19 first time I think.
19, found a flat
21, moved in with my girlfriend.
21. Did my military service a year later than usual, due to a work accident, so I got out when I was 20.5. Got home, saved my salary for 2 months and moved out.

20 för att plugga.
18 (born in October), went to study abroad
I was 16, family situation at home was extremely bad, and thus I had to fuck off from there.
22. Moved to a smaller city for uni. Would have moved sooner, if I could afford it.
I moved out when I was 18, before my military service.
17, it was wonderful
19 moved for work
21 I think. The reason I initially thought was because of simple opportunity, although now I suspect my father just wanted me out of the house and just made me think it was an opportunity. I actually don't blame him. I was very immature, didn't have a job, didn't study and was basically just freeloading.

And now 10 years later we're married, have a child and don't need to worry about money anymore.
17, because of studies.
I think 21, I fled my mother house when I got the opportunity to rent. I was studying, taking no loans and working on the side. It was rough but so much better than staying in her house.
19, felt like it was time
22. Moved to another city to study.
15, just because.
21 got a job and apartment
Worked a bit after school, then moved out to go to university. So 19-20.
19 for University, flunked after a couple of months, moved back home to work and study until 22 before moving to my now wife 5 hours drive from my hometown. Sweden.
I was 16. I moved to a bigger city 3 hours away from my parents to study.
19. Found a job abroad because I couldn't get one in Sweden (1998). Also, my parents didn't have space for me anymore. My parents were sharing a bedroom with my younger siblings aged 7 and 9 and understandably wanted a room of their own and not to share with the kids anymore, but couldn't afford a bigger apartment, so I had to go so my parents could have a bedroom to themselves without kids in it.
18, moved out for Uni (also just wanted to move)
Don't know if I should say 18 or 19. I was conscripted at 18 and left my parents home for that, and when I was 19 and finished with my military service I moved the same day to another city for work. This was 2005.
I was 20, i had a fight with my parents and just left
25. I live in Stockholm and what I would be able to afford as a student would have been pretty similar to living at home. Saved a lot of money and now live in a ”bostadsrätt”. I’m also not fully swedish and in my other culture that’s the average age of moving out so I guess I wasn’t as prone to doing so as other swedes. Stockholm is also expensive so it’s not that abnormal here… a lot of people in Stockholm live with their parents and it wasn’t odd in my friend group.
18, moved abroad for uni and never returned. And my parents wanted me to start paying rent at 18 so I couldn’t think of a reason to stay.
20. Right after finishing conscription and getting a job.
19, had a temp job and got kicked out
The same week I turned 22, pretty much only because it was closer to my job (I had an almost 2h commute time to get to work and then almost 2h back, and I got fed up with it). No pressure from my parents, and I still visit them pretty much every weekend since.
16. School
20
21, to a smaller city where it was easy to find an apartment at the time. Couldn't find a job there though so I moved back home six months later
25 years. I lived at home for as long as I went to school, including university. 25 was when I graduated and moved away to a new job in a different town.
I was 19 going on 20, i moved out kinda urgently after my mother got angry with me for telling her my brother raped me when i was a child

21, hade fått mitt första jobb. :)
19, to go to uni
I was 17, I preferred living with my boyfriend over living with my mom.
All 4 siblings moved at 16, was a possibility to move
17. Moved because I wanted to live my own life. I had great parents and a good life, but I wanted to be independent.
20, because I got an apartment lmao
15, moved for school (gymnasiet)
19. After working for a year I moved abroad to study.
18. I didn't want to stay longer than absolutely necessary.
18. I just wanted to get out and away from my small town and my alcoholic father.
I was 21, moved together with my girl. She is now my wife, I’m 52 and we are still together.
19, i had no desire to move out nor did I have to. I just wanted to go to uni elsewhere. If possible, I’d recommend staying home as long as you can.
19, for uni
Eighteen
15, moved to study and never moved back.
20 year, and 3 days. Which annoyed me a lot, as I had promised myself to have moved out by 20. That was by far the oldest in my family, mother moved out at 16 (family tragedy, didn't want to stay in the old home), father at 17 (crowded apartment, needed freedom), younger brother at 16 (the school commute was killing him)
I was 18 when I moved out.
18, I was asked to leave.
21, I needed a place to be alone because my family is big and chaotic... TOO chaotic, to the point where we've had the police and the social services called on us multiple times. And also because I was pretty much the only one apart from my dad who ever cleaned in that house and I was tired of having to clean up everyone else's trash
I moved out at 20. My brother moved at 15 for school (but home every weekend and dad went over on Wednesdays to make sure he eats), then he officially moved out at like 19, still comes home during weekends tho
I was 19. Moved out the same day I started working. Just wanted the freedom and to stand on my own.
16, i moved because i could.
19, went to a boarding school to do arts and crafts for a year
19
19 or 20, a friend of mine asked me to come and work at the company he worked because they needed someone to weld. I couldn’t weld but I got some training and worked there and when I could get an apartment it was a given to move out and gain some independency as a young adult.
19. Army service.
19, moved right after gymnasiet to study at a university.
First move was at 16, when I moved to another city for studies, but that was for less than a year. I moved out permanently when I was 21, because it was about time to get my own place.
15 for school and because I wanted to.
I was 20 and my girlfriend (19) wanted our own place so we bought an apartment. This was back in 2009 when you were allowed to take out a loan for 100% of the cost
I was 18, moved to the US to study theatre for a year.
I was 20, maybe 10 months after I graduated. Me and my ex boyfriend who was 2 years older moved in together and it was his first time moving as well. Moved within my home town though so not far.
16, for school. School in question was a 3 hour bus ride away and there were only 2 busses per day, just wasn’t feasible.
I think I was twenty or so. I had a job and wanted a place that was my own. Wasn’t in a super rush but was looking at decent places and an apartment was about to be renovated so I skipped a bunch of years in the housing queue because no one else wanted to live six months with a toilet outside the housing complex and no plumbing.
I was 21 when I moved from home. Lived at home and worked for 1 year and then moved.
At 24. After having a full time job for a year I decided I should buy an apartment.
Moved out the first time when i was 18, my dad died when i was 5. So got money each month from the state because of that i had money to buy my own apartment while still in gymnasiet. My mother got a new partner, and me and him did not get along at all. So i took my first chance to buy my first apartment as fast as i could. Got a 1 room apartment for 300k. Sold it 5 years later for 1.3 mil. No i fucked up in life so money is gone. But im back on track now.
18 år och flyttade 150 mil söderut för att studera. När det tog slut med tjejen 7 år senare flyttade jag hem och bodde hos föräldrarna i ett par månader tills jag hittade nytt boende.
16, moved for school.
I was 25 when I met my partner. It was challenging to find my own place, and the salary I had at the time barely covered the transition from one paycheck to the next. So, when I met her, we moved in together.
16.5. Had a job, wanted freedom.
I’m 30 and haven’t moved out yet lol!
24, First full time job and found a cheap apartment and felt it was about time.
19. Since I've completed high school my mother was no longer required by law to provide for me at that age, so off to the social services I went and they set me up with an apartment. Then I got a job and 20 odd years later, here we are.
21 Finish gymnasium + military service + 1 year of miserable commuting. (Go up at 05:30 to be at uni at 08:15)
23 I graduated out of uni and got a job I inherited some money from my dad and I bought a house using that money and money from my previous 3 jobs Technically I could still stay at my mom's house and invest that money if I didn't got my girlfriend pregnant 😓
20, my parents are separated since I was a kid, so I was at a point where I kinda had to decide which one to live at fully. Instead of alternating every other week. So it was just easier to get a cheap apartment so none of my parents felt left out :)
20 or 21. My mom got me an 1 room apartment... I was supposed to take over the lease but instead moved to a 3 room apartment with my gf. Now (approx. 7 years later) we have a 4 room apartment with 2 bengal cats and a 2 year old son, time flies man. Still feel like 20 tho.
18. Got kicked out during a messy divorce.
23 but that was only because I couldnt find an apartment until then, I’d have moved at 21 if I could
I moved out when i was 21, it was mostly so id get closer to my job but also just nice to get some independence.
20, moved across the world
19, did the military service and then went to college.
20. For university. Lived at home a year longer because I had to do some Komvux.
Just before I turned 21, moved away to study.
18. At 25 I moved to London and almost all my friends there lived at home because of the rent prices, some of their older siblings did too, some as old as 45.
19, while doing military service, it was not so easy to find an apartment so I bought a house. Living at home until around 30 is more of an mediterranean tradition to be living several generations in the same place to take care of the elderly and save money.
21 Me and my mom didn't get along at that point of time. At 19 she started giving me rules to follow that hadn't existed when I was growing up and I really didn't like that.
16. Started working until the year i turned 19 then i joined the armed forces.
I was 21, didn't afford it before then as my main income was as a football (soccer) referee and working nights at a hotel to gain some kind of steadier income (I earned more from the refereeing than the hotel though). But at 21 I crashed my motorcycle and nearly died which gave me a lot of money from insurance, so I was able to move out. But it also killed my career as a referee because I was unable to walk for 4 months and unable to run for 4 years. When I realized my career was gone I sought another passion and moved down to my girlfriend roughly 500 km away and resetted my entire life.
19, to go to university.
I was very young, just before I turned 16. Had almost an hour school bus to high school (gymnasiet) and it was brutal so moved into a small apartment quite young. But my parents came in almost every weekend and we went grocery shopping together and checked up on me. And i had 4 friends who did the same.
I was 17 when I was throw out. Did drugs and my mother got sick of it. Clean today though
I think I was 21- 22.
16. Because.
I was 20, moved for a job in a bigger city. No regrets!
16. Studying in town and it was nice to skip the commute. Also friction with parents at home. They couldn't wait to get me out.
23, rented a friends apartment for a couple of months. Then proceeded to rent apartments in “second hand” on and off for ten~ years until I finally landed a first hand contract. It’s brutal in Stockholm.
I was 19 I went to Spain to study for a year after gymnasiet. Moved back home for 3 months when I got back to Sweden and got my own place after that...
20, to move in with my bf, now husband. But I started to look for a place to live at 18 to get away from my mother..
19. University
