On her website, JKR is explicit that not all WW children attend Hogwarts
(quote) There is no obligation to take up the place, however; a family might
not want their child to attend Hogwarts.(unquote)

As this is so, it would follow that you can be an adult wizard (and buy a
wand) even though you haven't completed Hogwarts (or even been there in the
first place).

I'd agree that someone who is expelled or leaves wouldn't necessarily lose
their wand unless there was a breach of wizarding law/
