I'm perplexed by how different my kid is than I was at her age

Wanted to preface this by saying that I'm not complaining. She's a great kid. It's just interesting to me. She is 21 and prefers to stay at home most of the time, maybe once a week she'll tell me she's going out with her friends and she'll be back home early. She never snuck out or got in trouble. She doesn't date anyone, refuses when I offer her a beer. She also chose to live at home instead of an apartment or on campus even though I offered to pay for everything.

I was the COMPLETE opposite when I was young. High school I would be out all of the time, I would sneak out, spent much of my early 20s goofing off and partying. I got my driver's license as early as possible and loved going out and dating around. I couldn't wait to get out of the house, I got roommates and moved out as fast as I can because I loved the freedom. And my kid is worried about her Roth IRA instead. I find it odd but I guess it makes my life easy. Wonder if it's a generational thing
