If you have the opportunity, it just makes financial sense to stay at home. Even my buddies who have solid, career jobs are staying at home as long as they can. Why risk moving out when the economy is bad?

I'd rather live at home until I know I can safely move out financially. I'm not willing to take a risk with my money, health or happiness just to prove something to society.

edit: Though, if you are a fierce, independent sort of person, I completely understand and get it.
