Work really hard.
Not to launch into a "...in my day ..." story, but when I was 22, I had three jobs and was going to graduate school.
I thought the 20's were really hard work. You couldn't pay me enough money to be 22 again ....
Good luck!

Just like myself at the age of 18 and my b/f @ 19 we stay in our own place, go to work everyday no matter what pay our insurance, tv, etc. But before this we lived with my parents for a while and things did not work out so we lived with his parents, and started saving money then looking around after we found our place we started puttin deposits on lights and our place.
Just remember to have an open mind you will never start out with all of the best things in life, it is hard, you have to sacrifice having all the things you want to another time, and go to bargain stores for the things you need, spend wisely. Save money to get better things in your place. As you start having a few things you want then save money to get a better place. You have to have some things that you like in your house to make it a home, and plus if you dont you wouldnt want to go to work everyday.

It varies for all. Some go off to school. Some work. Some get married. I personally found a job. It also provided me with food and lodging. It was a good first step for me. Then I went to school. It took me a while to realize how important an educations is. Now, the world is my oyster.

Independent means you dont "depend " on someone to pay your rent, or for your food, your phone and you have your own place.
It helps to have a job which will generate enough money to pay for all of those things.
If you can do that , your'e independent.

Well, ideally they would have been on a gradual road to independence during their childhood.
After that, as others have said, you get a job, find an apartment (either on your own or sharing with roommates) and start your life.

i'm uncertain what you propose.. you at the instant are not already autonomous? Do you flow to varsity? Do you prepare dinner for your self, have a job, pay charges? you're already properly on your way.. If no longer, i'm uncertain what to assert. Get a job, flow out of the living house, hire an house.

This seems a strange question--you get a job; go to school; get a career you love; and you'll find someone who you want to marry; have children and continue your life and career. I don't understand--unless you have totally different goals. Or maybe, that's the thing--you don't have any goals? If not, you'll be anyone else's pawn! Decide what YOU want! And do it!

Get a job, earn enough money to pay your own rent and keep and not plan on going out too much!

Try having 3 kids and a husband. the quickest route to independence that I know of.
The more conventional route is to get a job, your own place and pay your own way
