Well everyone's situation is different. I had one friend that got laid off because of his baby mama(long story) and he moved back home to his folks. 2 years later he ended up buying a house bigger than his parent's. Then I got a cousin that is 33 and he's still living with his mother. It was trifling I must admit, but he's working towards moving in with his fiance' now. Some situations are good and some are bad, but everyone is different. I didn't move out until I was 25 myself. But I paid bills while I was there, paid for groceries sometimes and helped out if money was ever needed. I cooked & cleaned sometimes, but I wasn't being lazy about it.
