Don't when you grew up, but I grew up in the 40-50’s..most kids stayed in the parents home until marriage. My brother was 25 when he got married and moved out, I was 18. Kids did not move out and get their own apartments..Your starting jobs were low paying and you saved money. My in laws bought their first home after 20 years of marriage and paid cash for it...Apartments were few and far between, there were flats to rent, but not a lot of those...The society was structured a lot different than it is today. No one moved out of our home until marriage and not one was an old maid. We all had jobs while in high school and no one got an allowance. Minimum wage was for teen jobs and to gain experience, until the democrats figured minimum wage was to raise a family on....and used that sorry excuse everytime they raised it....

Thank you for the historic perspective. Society is indeed structured differently these days. It's more anti-marriage and anti-family and more pro- "extended (irresponsible) adolescence." Babies are seen as an annoying side effect of sex. It's disgusting.
