I think the more traditional standard was marriage, but as people are getting married later and later in life, that has changed. I moved out when I was 18, and I was thrilled to be out of there. But my reasons were specific to me and my family. I really don't think it matters as long as everyone involved is happy with the situation, it is not the business of anyone outside the family.
Though many contribute, I have known 20 something's that are working at McDonalds, but they are driving an Escalade and parting 3 or 4 times a week, because they live at home, contribute nothing and have no monetary responsibility. If you ask me, they are taking advantage of their parents, and I don't think it is right. But they aren't asking me, it is none of my business, so I mind my business and keep my mouth shut. If their parents have a problem with it, it is their place to say something. If the parents don't care, why the heck should I?
