I disagree, and I think this attitude we have in America is very detrimental to our family bonds and social fabric.  There are many cultures in the world where people live with their parents until they get married, and also often also have their elderly parents live with them.  This makes sense in so many ways; less social isolation, the ability to spend more time with the people you care most about in life, money savings, chores can be shared, etc.  Of course, I don't think grown kids should "mooch" off their parents either.  They should be contributing to the household.

Bingo^^^
I hate ultra simplistic reasoning.
Nice work picking that apart.

You say "should not" like it's necessarily a bad thing

I moved out when I went to University at age 19. Then I moved back home for the summer after first year. Then I moved out again until I was almost 23, at which point I moved back home (I wasn't in school anymore, and got a job offer near my mothers). I lived at home for another three years, until I was 26 at which point I moved out with my gf.

I did not live at home for free (although MUCH cheaper than I could have lived on my own). I was paying rent to my mom the entire time. I did not leech off my parents, and I take offense to you saying "people in their mid-twenties should not be living in their parents house".

Sounds like the kids are learning early then because this statement is mostly true.

I'm 19 and barely moved out of my dad's, but I moved into the street and am about to live in the wild. No school or jobs for me!
