I'm 24 and have lived at home all along. I had apartments in college, but would visit frequently, and always stayed home for the summers. FI did the same thing. We both felt like it was kind of expected.
I'll be living at home until I'm married, whcih is in exactly 4 months! FI and I bought a condo 2 weeks ago; he'll be moving in soon.
He lived with his parents post-graduation because he was unemployed. After he found a job, he continued/continues to live at home. It's not ideal, but the tradeoffs were that he could buy me a gorgeous engagement ring cash, have money for a downpayment on a house, and still have plenty of savings in the bank.
Neither of us pay rent, but we both do help out a lot. FI does the yard work for his parents, does housecleaning, laundry, cooking (he's totally domestic!) I help my mom with the housework, the grocery shopping, etc. We don't pay rent, but we do "earn our keep"
