Honest question here Marty:

How much "freedom" would you really have in life if you didn't have mom and dad to repeatedly back you up with emergency money every time you went broke?

If you were truly living your life fully independently and on your own terms, perhaps you'd have some room to mock those living a conventional lifestyle.

But you're not, and we all know that, even if you do manage to go through some short periods of time where you support yourself.

Are you seriously going to bash a guy with a wife and two kids for working a conventional job and making 85k/year? Like, really?
