Many kids today think that they should have the same standard of living as they did living with their parents. When they get out in the real world they think that they are entitled to these things. They have no concept of how long and hard their parents worked to reach a certain standard of living.
As long as things are handed to him he is not going to want to make a life for himself. If he does not want to act like an adult you need to start treating him like a child. He is living in your home so it should be by your rules. Give hime a proper bed time and a time to be home when he goes out with friends ect.. Explain to him that when he moves out he can live by his own rules and that you would be more than happy to help him finding a job and working on a budget to make it happen. If he threatens you call the police. There are many state agencies who can help him with his depression if that is the problem.
