Gone are the days of when the kid turned 18 it was time for them to go forth and earn thy fortune, with an emphasis on the going forth.
I was the same way, I could not wait to get out on my own. This generation, I don't know. For some of them, they see nothing wrong with leeching off the parents until they are 25 or so. Me? I would be humiliated if I had to move back in with my parents after I left. I would have worked two extra part time jobs to prevent that if necessary.
I guess it came down to pride and in some cases pride can be a good thing. I don't see that in some of the kids these days.
