I kind of think of the idea of a "young adult" as a term which helps people smooth through the transition from teenager to adulthood - not so much a real thing but a crutch to help us cope with our independence and responsibilities. As a young adult you can still lean on your parents for instance as if you were still a teenager. To me young adulthood was defined by my time in university, and I considered the moment at which I began working, paying off my loans and living in a normal house (rather than student housing) the moment at which I ceased being a young adult and became a normal adult.
