4) Got you first job. - First job, 13 or so. A paper round. First proper job, 16. Burger King.

5) Learned to ride a bike. - Umm, 5 or so I think.

Re: How old were you when...

How old were you when:

1) You moved out of your parent's house.

I was nineteen when I moved at and joined the army.

2) Had your first serious romantic relationship.

Although I had two girlfriends before this I didn't actually get into a serious relationship until I was 18.

3) Got your first car.

The day of my 16th birthday my parents gave me a 1974 VW Beattle. Not the best car in the world but I loved it and it was simple enough for a 16 year old boy to keep in running order.

4) Got you first job.

I started delivering newspapers when I was 14 and I had to lie on the application because the newpaper only hired people who were 15 and over.

5) Learned to ride a bike.

I learned in kindergaten so I must have been six.

6) Learned to swim.

My parent's had a pool in their backyard so I learned to swimg very young. Probably around five or six but I couldn't go in the water alone until I was 13.

7) Bought your first share of stock.

My grandparents used to give my sister and I shares of companies when we were kids but I didn't buy my own share (20 shares of Microsoft) until I was 21.

8) Opened your first credit card account.

At 16 JCPenny's Company gave me a credit card with a $50 limit and boy was I stoked. Of course I couldn't use it uless one of my parents was around but...

9) First kissed a romantic interest.

My first kiss was in second grade but that was just a chicken peak. My first "girlfriend" wasn't until the seventh grade but my first real girlfriend wasn't until my senior year in high school.

10) Got married or would like to get married.

At 26 I am still not married but I think 28 or 29 would be a good age to settle down.
