Independence is prized in the West, America especially. Do you think John Wayne lived with his parents? Joking aside, even (especially?) very wealthy American families expect their children will basically do everything for themselves beyond a certain point, which is pretty arbitrary. Theres pressure from parents to be independent and achieve. It reflects poorly on you and them for you to live at home. I don't see this with some of my friends from other cultures who are unashamed to accept significant financial help from their parents and whose parents are unashamed to provide it.
