I personally don't agree with the American view on independence. My parents will take care of me until I gradute with a degree. I will, in turn, t ake care of them when they age into senority. As the oldest, I will stay with them for the rest of their lives, making sure they are taken care of. Bonus for me is that The house becomes mine really at some point.
I'm actually looking into getting property myself right now. For Investment.

Went to college at 18. Was fully supported for the whole time, though I picked up a side job that paid well enough to allow me to be independent (probably with a little work and a few loans), but my parents said they'd still keep supporting me until I graduated. I ended up talking them into not supporting me fully, only school + books + misc. living/medical expenses. Enough so that I was still legally covered by my parents medical/dental/vision insurance.
Then I graduated, but couldn't find work (quit my old job to focus on my senior year), and my parents said they wouldn't support me if I didn't live at home, so I moved home for a few months, moved out, couldn't find anything stable, moved back, moved out again. About a year and a half of that.
Finally 100% independent as of ~3 months ago at 24.

I moved out when I was 18... that was the last I saw of parental financial support.
I'll be 26 this year, have owned a home (my ex kept it) and so now I live in my own 2 bedroom apartment. I own my 04 350Z free and clear and owe just a bit on my 05 WRX and I do it all by myself. I've got me, myself and I.... oh and my dog.
My parents used to always ask me to move home- I think they were lonely. But my bro just moved home from Ireland and is living with them until he finds a place so they haven't bothered me lately.

Well, to answer your question.... i have lived on my own since the age of 15. I am now 36 so i'm not "still on the tit" as you say. However i have an "fetish" for VERY LARGE *****. A D Cup is as small as i go. Anything larger is a plus

I left the nest when I joined the Army at 18.
As Salty posted, I lived at home for a month or two when I first got left the Army.
Paid my way through college (BS in ME) & bought my first house while in college.
I never asked for assistance from my now deceased mother, and tried to help her out as much as I could.
My grandparents are millionaires that live like their homeless; they want to leave as much as possible to their three heirs (I'm #2).

Cool.... lots of serious answers. While I used to think that people had an advantage when spoiled wrotten by their parents, I've noticed that people who had strict or "monetarily tight" parents (wealthy or not) did a lot better, at least within my friend pool. I don't think overmothering helps either... learned that one first hand =).
That's the truth.... miss the days of wrenching on my car all day long!
