It stems from the thought or mindset that people have to go on their own and pave their own way rather than be provided for by their parents. One of those marks of adulthood where you can take care of yourself.
I feel like there are always reasons why people may live longer with their parents, but at the same time, I feel like leaving your parent's home is part of growing up.
