[How very convenient that the cutoff of adulthood is your own age]
I chose the number 25 because it is usually a few years after most people have graduated college and have entered the work force. The number 25 is used in many places as a "special" age. Insurance companies, rental car companies, hotel bookings, etc...
[you're going to insult vast numbers of functional adults, at least insult yourself in the process. Silly child.]
I don't know about your peers, but from my graduating class of ~1000, I would guess there were less than 100 who were completely independent by 23.
[First of all, you are in fact wrong. The majority of young adults do in fact live independently.]
I'll do some research on that.

- logfromblammo 10y agoI'd like to lend my support to "old enough to realize that the real world sucks". By that measure, I reached adulthood two weeks short of my 25th birthday. That, of course, was when I was laid off for the first time, just after signing a year-long lease on a new apartment. That's probably just coincidence, though. I'm sure that many people realized the real world sucks earlier than I did.
- gnaritas 10y agoMost people don't get college degrees, so that's a poor jumping off point to begin with. Near 68% of Americans do not have a bachelors degree. Many who do enroll simply drop out long before graduating.
