Is it considered embarrassing to live with your parents after a certain age in your culture?

By living with parents, doesn't mean a young adult just learn how to mooch off them and nothing else. I had to work at my mom's business between 15-19 years old. 

I had to keep an eye on my brother to stay off trouble and make sure the monthly bills were paid when she was abroad in business. 

I doubt I could get the maturity and self awareness I got from experienced people around me, somewhere else as easily.

Ah, that's different. I only know of a few examples of 'kids' staying at home, not contributing anything, while enjoying the latest cell phone, their own car and party every weekend. I didn't own a car until I was 30, different priorities.

Helping out with the family business is a very different situation. However a friend of mine was never interested in helping out much in his parent's shop. Got addicted to gambling and stayed at home. Eventually his parents got him married (arranged marriage, flew in bride from Vietnam, thought he would be better off with a girl of the same race) and bought them a house. Some times parents go too far. I lost contact but I don't think he ever matured.

Damn, I wouldn't mind being that guy for couple of years. However, I'm too proud to lay down and let other people control my life.
