18 was when I became independent of my parents. However, I went from that to the govt taking care of free housing and food when I joined the military. I was 21 when I moved out of the dorms, started paying rent, and stopped getting free chow at the DFAC.

When I went to college they paid for my cell phone, car insurance, and I was on their health insurance.
That was it. No money on the side. No money for school.
After college I started paying my own cell phone bill, car insurance, and health insurance

like 21 or 22.
I came back for 1 summer after college. Worked 15+ hours every day at a flying service so I lived at home so mommy could make my food and do my laundry

My dad told me to live it up on his dime on graduation night, because the following day I wasn't getting anything else from him.
Granted, when the market crashed a year later in 2008, he let me borrow some money to get by when things were really tight, but I paid him back every cent of that.

I'm 30 and my parents still pay my car insurance. 
They also gave me $28k from my wedding fund to purchase my car in 2018.
We live in a home my SO's parents own (not with them.. they just own this house), so pay no rent or mortgage.
Financially, we don't need any help at all. But they like to do it.

I moved to Baton Rouge at 18 and moved in with my brother and a roommate that were already at LSU.
I did move home for the 1st 2 summers to works and save money to pay for the upcoming years at LSU. Not sure if that counts or not, parents didn't pay for anything except giving me a place to stay while saving up money for school.

Depends on the circumstances, I was about 26 until I moved out but I had my Masters degree and just hadn’t found a job in my field. Should be earlier if they’re just playing video games and smoking weed all day. Waiting until I was fully settled career wise helped my finances tremendously.

It's the OT. Everyone here was making three digits at 16.

Parents paid for law school so 25. They did float me a sizable no-interest loan for about 8 months a few years later when I made partner a year before I had planned and the only way I could have made the equity payment then was to get raped by capital gains. My mom who is still alive always gives my wife and me extravagant gifts for birthdays and Christmas because as she says she wants to see us enjoy it versus leaving it to us after she dies. So I guess in a way she still supports me.

21 after I graduated college and got my first job. I paid for most of my college but they helped a little. I was out of the house at 14 going to boarding school though.

Moved at 21, paid all my own bills from 17 on. I actually paid my parents $200 a rent from the time I was 18 till I moved out.

parents kicked me out at 19. it was cordial, but it was abrupt. wasn't expecting it. they still covered my auto insurance till i was 21 and got married since i was taking care of my grandmother and driving her around.
i still went back home pretty regularly and mowed my parents lawn and helped around the house. i didn't really stay with them again till the month before i got married.
kinda a weird situation, but we get along today.
only thing that was still "dependent" on them was my wife and i shared cell plans with them till i was about 28 because it was cheaper for all of us, but by then i had a work phone.
