For the record, I have not lived with my parents since I was about 20 or 21. By the time I graduated college, my parents had moved to a town where I not only didn't want to live, but wouldn't have found the work I wanted, so I went out on my own immediately after college. I say all that for a reference: I don't have a problem with post college graduates living at home as long as its strictly a place to stay and pay no or reduced rent -- in hopes of saving as much money as possible. Perhaps when I have kids that old, I may rethink, but I don't have a problem with it.
On the other hand, if the person depends on mommy to make his lunch, wash his clothes, etc., then its time to cut the cord and move on. A buddy of mine just broke off a relationship with a girl (early 30s) who still lives at home, tells her parents everything, and involves them in all aspects of her life. I'm glad he did. That's absurd.

That's absurd My sister is this way with her children. In fact, she instigates trouble in their relationships so that neither of her 20 something children have ever had a long-term boyfriend or girlfriend. She uses money as a tool also. It is a very strange situation.
