Its a hard question to answer because it really depends on your home situation:
1. On one hand some parents can't afford to send kids to college etc. and some ppl put themselves through college and a big personal ups to them. Mega respect.
2. There's the middle ground where parents can afford to send kids off to college - IMO this is what most parents aim for anyways but they must keep this to a minimum - i.e. get your degree in the minimum time and get the hell on with your life.
3. Lastly there's the people who are well off and parents have no problem with kids sponging off them.
Sure, life's unfair but you can't judge people's lifestyle without considering their background. If I was born a billionaire with enough cash to last my family the next 5 generations.. fuck work. I'm gona go enjoy life :P
