Uh, okay. Notice he said "poor". I don't know what part of the world you live in, but to me, if someone is poor, it means he is unable to house or feed himself, not living in a dinky apartment. Just because you are grown does not mean you will never need help in life, and I don't think staying with your parents means you're making it "all about you".
I guess this trends more into the philosophical aspect of things, but for all of you who are so proud of your bold independence, what did you do to earn being intelligent? Was it a life choice you made? Yes, a person does not have to be highly intelligent to be successful or even at the most base level self-sufficient, but it certainly makes it easier. Tell me, how many of you worked really hard in the womb to be able to problem solve well?
Me? I plan on getting a job as soon as possible after graduating college so I can be self-sufficient. I want to be able to rely on myself because my parents were fantastic raising me and supporting me and deserve their own space now. That doesn't mean my relationship with them is terminated when I move out, either. Ultimately, though, I'm not so prideful or arrogant to think that everyone was born as fortunate as me in life. Some of the traits that are key to success can't be earned.
I think one poster put it best when he said (paraphrased) "just because it has been done doesn't mean it can be done by everyone." Yes, there are lazy people who mooch off their parents, but there are also people who are hard working, diligent folks who have just fallen on hard times and need a lending hand - which, as I understand it, is what family is for. But some of you are quick to forget the natural or environmental gifts you've been given. Just don't be so quick to judge one way or another, is my feeling on this subject.
