Implication is that you're incapable of being self sufficient.

Too broke to move out, your parents still cook for you / do your laundry, can't bring a girl home without your parents hearing you get it on, etc.

    Holdover stereotype from when living on your own with a service job was realistically doable. Which just flat out is not the case in most cities now.

    Although not wanting your parents hear you bang is totally fair.
