Well, if you count going off to college at 18 then not much, but I was living in a dorm so it wasn't like I was supporting myself financially yet.
By the time I got my 1st apartment (with a roommate), which was my junior year of collge, I probably had a 1 or 2 stacks (but I had steady income). When I first got my own (studio) apartment during my last year of college I probably had a few thousand saved. After I graduated I moved back home for a couple months, then back out as soon as I found a job. Still only had a couple stacks, but I was anxious to get out of the house.
Eventually I got laid off but I found another job before I ran out of money
, so I've been on my own since.
