That is, feed you, put a roof over your head, provide you with transportation, money, or anything else in the way of financial support? Or have you always supported yourself?

The minute I turned 18 I was on my own for everything

Well I was 18 my entire senior year so my parents still provided all of that for me. I went to college for 19 and lived in my own place for about a year after high school- then I moved home again. My parents provided partial support for me until I was married at 21- then it was my ex and I who provided support. Since then it has been just me supporting myself. When I get married, then my new Hubby and I will provide the support until we have kids, then he will be the sole financial provider in the family.

I went to college at 18 but had to move back home at 22 after graduation because I came out of school during a recession and couldn't find a full-time job. However, I paid rent, what little it was while working 3 part time jobs until I could find a full time one. Once I got a full time job I was out in my own apartment like a flash.
I had a job during college - I'm a trained Machinist and I worked as one then so my parents, though they helped with my tuition because they wanted to, never sent me any spending money and I never asked for any.

I've struggled with this, my dad is a firm believer in ....when your 18 your own your own and you need help? screw that figure it out yourself..
My mother has been the opposite. I couldn't work full time when i was in school (two hours away) and go to school full time..so i hit some rough patches.
Alot of people that sort of knew my situation thought i was a spoiled brat, but I wasnt....
When my parents divorced, my mom gave up her half of my dads retirement fund....so i could have money to go to school, she put in the papers he had to maintain my car, car insurance until i graduated, pay for my boarding and books...
Once I graduated, i had a hard time getting on my feet (and im STILL working on it)
most of the time, i've taken the fall though, i have sacrificed things I didn't need for bills...but...now its not enough. this coming wednesday (JAN 3) makes a YEAR at my first job in my field (business information systems) and i'm slowly climbing on my own. I love being independant.....
at my six months i got my entire bonus and a raise (9%)..
im expecting another raise and another bonus (they've made my bonus twice a year)
and I know none of you really care lol but it feels good to get it all out! :)

Ummmm... I have 2 part time jobs so I get my own money (not enough anyways) but I still live with my mom and I depend on her for housing, food (like, the food at home and stuff) and I don't think I could make it without her. I'm turning 19 today (**royal wink and looking nice**) and I rely 100% in my parents. The only things I rely on myself are my clothes, food when I'm not home and some $plurge. ^_^

I've worked since I was 16. Not because I had to, but because my parents wanted to make sure I learned good work ethics and the value of money. My parents have always provided a stable environment for my siblings and me. I value everything I have because mostly, I attained it myself. Now, it's a 50/50 split. I contribute, my boyfriend contributes. It's good.

Except for a brief 6 month stint after college, I've been on my own since 18.

I am still supported as I have never actually been brought up to depend on myself , I am reconstructing my psychological build and adjust it to face that one day I will be on my own ... !
I have been successfully doing that for the last 2 years , I don't think I need support anymore now ... ^ ^
Cheers !

Yes. I've relied on my parents for financial support on and off.

I am a 33 yo single father of 2 kids and when I got divorced I had to move back in with my parents for awhile because it was just so hard trying to work and pay for 2 kids with no help from thier mother. I will be forever grateful to my parents for all they have done for me!
