Its less about culture but more living area. Where I live, it is impossible to live without roommates unless your wealthy , so younger adults tend to live with parents much than you young adults in, say Kansas. That allowance thing though, you are waaaaay to old for that.

Here is where cultural differences surfaces. Here it`s actually very ok, sure, it`s not ideal, but isn`t something that just I receive for example. Kids around here for example that go to medicine school, since it`s virtually impossible to have a job and study medicine, they get allowances from their parents till late 20`s easily. 

 

And for example, my allowance is around 2x the minimum wage. I don`t want to enter in this discussion in depth, but it`s common in upper middle class for people to receive allowances from parents. I know people in their 30`s that still receive money from the parents.
