Summary

At 30, he says living with his mum avoids £600–£1,000 monthly rent, food, and expenses, preserving 60–70% of income. He treats his mother’s house as a home base for long Japan/South Korea stays, prioritising mobility over appearing independent. Privacy around bringing women home is his drawback; he proposes a garden cabin and buys an iPad Pro, controller, camera.

Insight

He frames dependence as rational, but consumer spending and sexual privacy expose its trade-offs.
