I can relate to that. I moved back in with the parents so that I can get out of grad school without massive debt. As it stands now, I'll owe only about $10k in school loans when I'm finished.

Knowing asian parents at least, that guy's mom is going to post up a copy of that article in the living room and show it to all the guests!
But seriously, I lived with my parents for 5 years after college to save money. Only problem was, every time I'd save up a decent chunk of money I'd buy a car, just to justify the lack of independence and freedom that came with living with my parents...

I went from LWP to being a home-owner @ 22 and it couldn't have happened soon enough! I was going crazy! Yes you can drive a better car if you stay at home but, I wouldn't live with my mom again even if I got to drive a Lamborghini!!!

Like Jason, I had no desire to stick around with the parents. Even then, my folks raised me to be fiercely independent anyway (lots of summer camp and long-term stays away from them). I did come back and stayed for a year when I moved back to the Bay Area, but aside from that, I've been pretty much on my own since graduating from High School.
I go visit my 'rents once a week, and it's great.
. . . the trick is, trying to live without roommates

I've paid for my own apartment, car note, bills, insurance, etc. since I was 17. There's NO better feeling in the world than knowing you are completely independent and can survive on your own, all while getting a college education and working full time. It amazes me when some college students complain about having to work 10 hours a week at Best Buy to have spending money. Welcome to the real world buddy.
