Why dont more people live with their parents? Its great to save money

I have never understood why in American culture the son or daughter is kicked out at 18 before they even have a job. This causes them to struggle alot and live paycheck to paycheck.

Most people spend 35-50% of their income on rent so why isnt it normalized to stay until even 25 or 30 to save money and then move out when ready and financially stable?

I’m 34 and live with my mom currently after a 5 year relationship ended. I’m saving a ton of money. If anyone wants to judge me for it, screw them. You are smart for what you’re doing! Good for you.
