Well, I'm 28 right now.
From 20 to 25 I finished college and hopped between 3 jobs. I left my parent's house on my 26th birthday. Things have been, uh, difficult. There are weeks that I stuggle to pay the bills and pay for food because I left home with a very high credit card debt, which I'm on my way to completely pay.
I tell myself that this was for the better even if I havent had the most comfortable life these past two years, at least I have a (rented) roof over my head and in truly dire situations my friends were able to give me a hand. If I were at home, I would still be drowning in debt plus my parents monitoring everything I do
Right now I'm sitting on my ass playing videogames with headphones, something unthinkable in my parents house in a Sunday.
Houses / apartments are stupidly expensive here so I don't worry too much about it because I wouldnt be able to afford one anyway, I would rather rent at premium prices (I don't, currently) near my workplace than have 'my house' and endure a 2 hour commute everyday.
All of my friends are either trying to get married, pregnant, living with their girlfiends and the like. And I'm like, fuck that lol. I love my girlfriend, but I would never get married, much less have a kid (actually I want to get a vasectomy soon).
I'm supposed to be CEO of my own company, married, with kids, with a huge ass house according to my elders, but yeah, fuck that.
