That's the thing. I think people overestimate the "me" time and underestimate financial security.
There are some things that I don't like while living at home but tough on me. I can't have my cake and eat it too. If I want to make it a bit easier on myself financially in the future then I have to sacrifice some things now.
I have piece of mind knowing that if something comes up and I need to spend a few k, then it's no biggie. Or if my family or any close friends need some financial help I can pitch in too.
My brothers going to grad school and I offered to pay for his semester. That's much more comforting to me t then having some more "me" time yet him going into debt. I pay the bills are my parents house as a symbolic thing and it feels good to help out even if they don't really need the help.
In the rest of the world, kids stay a lot longer with their parents.

That's what it was for me. I mean I'm all for saving and all that, but at some point in life you just gotta leave the nest. I just felt like damn my mom has done enough time for me to see if I can make it on my own. Of course it was tough at first, but I made the necessary adjustments and sacrifices to make things run smoother. Felt good knowing that I could make it on my own.

I think leaving home early is a US thing. In other parts of the world kids are expected to stay until they get married and even then they live with the 'rents for the first few years.
Exactly. I was trying to get this point across in a similar thread. We're so backwards as a country in many ways.

Non NYC folks don't realize how crazy it is here with car insurance.
Brooklyn has the highest car insurance rates in the nation.
