I think living with parents is also a cultural thing, typically in an asian (for me filipino) family it is accepted often encouraged for the kids to live with parents while they save to buy their own place. My parents did this when they were younger, of course they just came from the Philippines with practically nothing, so they had to start somewhere. Also as the parents get older (really old), the tables turn and the parents end up living with their children. It may be economical in a way, but its also very accepted in the Filipino culture.
BTW. I didn't follow the norm.. I moved out when i started college, found a job here and have been living on my own with the wife ever since.
