He’s a cyber security analyst in a low cost of living city and state. Three bedroom homes can go for under $200k. He may just be a penny pincher — he seems unbothered about his living situation.

    Agree with all. I think it’s easy to infer they both have money problems because they are choosing this extended temporary living life, but I don’t think that was ever actually said; mom has the financial problems. He doesn’t want to kick her out and it wasn’t a nuisance until he met this girl. He’s just doing his day to day, working and gaming, so there was no need to make changes and kick his mom to the curb.

      Judging by his self acknowledged lack of social skills, I can almost guarantee he’s not the confrontation type. He’d never kick his mom out. He would most likely continue this exact living arrangement until SHE tired of it and left. The fiance coming may force things, but I don’t see him as the type to push that agenda at all. My experience with hardcore gamers has taught me that gaming is their escape from the uncomfortable realities of life. And he does A LOT of gaming and has since he was a kid living in his mom’s home. That’s how he deals with the situation, not by actively trying to change things.
