Amongst my friends and peers, this is all pretty much the standard.
I have some friends who make decent coin and certainly have the means to move out and perhaps, get into the real estate market. But, as they approach their 30s, they still live at home. In most ways, they're typical 20/30 somethings, but in some ways, they have the mentality of teenagers and this is the result of living at home for an extended period of time.
