But I feel like it's a cultural difference.

Aye. Think among Asians, staying at home with your parents till you're married isn't out of the norm if there isn't other reasons to move out.

If you have to pay your parents, just move out.

That's where I'm at a lost in understanding this mindset. As mentioned previously, I feel there needs to be a practical reason to move out. Moving out just to move out is a waste of money and being financially smart is part of being an adult in my opinion. It's like what some folks have stated previous, everyone is bound to have different reasons. There's no one-size-fit-all answer to whether or not to stay at home/move out in my opinion.

Part of being an adult is learning how to manage a household. Even if it's as simple as an apartment, you still have to deal with rent, management, utilities, etc. It's part of establishing a basepoint for managing your own life and finances.

I will agree living at home does offer a cushion which can potentially hinders one ability to learn and experience the concepts you've mentioned. But it isn't like one can only learn such concepts while living away. Some of us do contribute or take over on bills, property tax, home insurance, etc. while also maintaining the house.
