Most of the people I went to high school with? In my neighborhood/school, most children, when they become teenagers, are expected to get a job to help with the family bills. Personally, my parents didn't expect that of me, but theirs expected it of them and they both did. Most of my peers at school/work did so too. This is probably mostly a poor person thing. However, once you're done with your education entirely, unless there's extenuating circumstances like severe disability, you absolutely should be mostly paying your own living expenses, even if you're living with someone else.
