I can respect both ways - I left home at 16, but I once got to know an Australian guy who was still living at home when he got a job in finance, lived on a ramen-and-no-fun budget even while making $60k per year, and invested it all into real estate and became quite wealthy. I used to think people who don't move out are lame or scared, but then I came to Asia. It's normal here - you don't move out until you get married, but you save the money for a house, kids, whatever. Someone who lives at home and then blows their cash on junk is in the worst of both worlds.
