Yeah, well, with the severely high buy-in to things such as the housing market, you pretty much need to get an education in order to compete. As such, your parents are gonna probably help you out and pay for it.
I've also found that my parents at least (and I know a lot of my friends parents as well), don't want to cut the ties either. They have their own semi-cordial relationship with their parents, which consists of seeing them on a pretty infrequent basis with a minimal relationship. Some parents want more than that with their own kids, so they don't want to cut the 'cord' either, so they supply their kids with the financial means necessary to keep them close. My 22 year old sister told my dad about a month and a half ago that she was finally moving out of the house, and my dad broke down in tears. This guy is one of the toughest businessmen I know, and he was in tears over my sister moving out.
