I would definitely have a problem with anyone who was fine with living with their parents. Even though I love my parents to death and am at their house all the time, I could not WAIT to get my own place (had to live at home for a few months after grad while looking for a job/apartment). I think it's a sign of immaturity to be willing to live off your parents. (Of course this is not intended for those cultures where it is traditional for a child to live at home. I have an Indian friend who really struggles with her desire to move out of her parents house. She feels she will have to move across the country to get her parents' approval.)
Thought: How likely is it that, if you and this guy get married, you're going to have to take care of him? He's going to stop living off his parents and start living off of you if you let him.

This is where I am, moved home due to an inability to find a job and it would have been living with parents or moving across country to live with a friend who would have put me up. Found a job at the same time, but had to pay off the debts of being unemployed and save up a next egg. Six months or so later I'm just trying to find a place and then I'm out.
I think if i were content living here, I'd be a lot more worried about it.
