Everyone I knew, myself included, moved out at 18 (or right after high-school). Most boomers don't understand their childrens generation because they didn't spend any-time with them. They aren't referred to as the "me generation" for nothin'.

I'm quickly approaching the mark of being married longer than my parents and I'm a right wing extremist compared to their Dim-o-crap ideals. They haven't done anything for my generation and I don't expect they ever will.

Unfortunately most Xers feel the same way I do and are very bitter about it. If and when we get any representation in Congress, the proverbial shiite will hit the fan.

It might be the Y's who seem to be living at home --- I'm not sure what ages would be the cut-off between the GenX and GenY, and maybe some is regional but in this area it's common to hear 28, 29 year olds talking about moving out of their parents' homes at some point but they've never known financial independence.
