Mid 30s and still living with my mom: why don’t I have my own place?

Look I'll admit it - I'm mid 30s and still live at home with my mother.

There are plenty of reasons why anyone would live with their parents, even at age 30 and beyond.

The most valid reason would be that housing is expensive and with a low income, it makes it very difficult to make ends meet. Living with the parents and paying a reasonable rent for the "services" is something that a lot of younger people do until they can afford a place of their own.

Another good reason is that one is too introvert to try to get out and explore the world on their own. The comfort of "mama's house" is very appealing and you have a slave that does everything for you. Cooking, cleaning and you also have a confident that is not likely going to judge you.

Why not? Even if you have your own home, spending time with your mother is valuable. Mothers are unique, and nobody can replace them. We should appreciate them while they are still with us, because one day they won't be. Living with your mother can be a source of happiness. Don't take these small, but precious things for granted, because they won't last forever.
