And if someone in their 30s tells you to grow up, just ask them where they were/what they were doing in their mid 20s?

In all honesty, I'd prefer to meet someone who still lives at home - shows me they're still young at heart like me lol i know that sounds weird, but super 'miss-independent' chicks who live in shoe-box sized condos in their early 20s aren't all that attractive. For me, I'd like to grow with someone, not have to jump ship and fit into their lifestyle.
Keep your head up!

 I don't think it will matter. In the current state of economy , you are by no means the only one in this kind of situation. For a young person nowadays getting a "normal " life ( a car, a good job, her own apartment, etc. ) it's much more difficult than in the past and what was the object of
irony and jokes 10 or 20 years ago - the typical guys ( or girls ) who live in their parents' basement - has become now just another fact of life.
That does not mean you have to give up, though : look for a full time job, save as much as you can, get yourself some cheap used car,....keep doing all you can to make yourself independent. And, in the meantime, enjoy your dates .
