Honestly I don't feel that bad.
Since turning 18 I've been solely on my parents dole for less than 4 years. From when I was 18-20 working on my portfolio (which scored me a decent job) and then from summer of last year till now. Thats less than most people that go to college (and seeing that if I had chosen to go to college instead of working, like I did, my parents would have been paying for that, including room and board + tuition, etc, its even more cheap).
So no, I don't feel bad. Compared to a lot of people I know I've been fairly good at being financially independent since I turned 20.
I didn't move out yea, but thats fine, I wasn't making a ton of money (but it wasn't bad either, plus plenty of experience) working and living at home saved money (I still paid my mom rent and helped out with bills). It allowed me to start a business doing something that I enjoy. Granted that business is not where I want it to be right now (due to factors in and out of my control, annoyingly out of my control for the most part, that part being extremely stressful), but that happens, not every venture pans out immediately, sometimes ever at all.
Why would I feel bad about that?
