>> It's been a long time since uni and my first company but at that time (90s) it was definitely not normal in my circles to live with your parents (financial mostly I guess). I don't have any numbers to back it up, but my experience (I think we're of a similar age) was that this was true mainly for "white people with an English speaking background". Most of my friends with an ethnic background did not have any stigmas related to living with their parents prior to marriage. This includes people who might otherwise be considered white but whose parents spoke a different language at home (Italian, Greek, Portuguese), etc. Granted, I live in Canada - there seems to be much less pressure for immigrants to assimilate vs in the US.
