Hi readyt0change
it's a tough spot to be in when your moms place is the best option - but drinkings just going to keep you in the status quo, or worse.
If you take the money you spend on booze and save it instead you might be surprised how soon you will have a little nest egg to out towards a new polace to live.
I'm sure the rental market is tight but I bet there are still affordable places to be found if you look - not the Hilton sure but as long as it's nice and clean, you can pimp that crib
maybe a little ways out of the city, if you have transport?
