Nothing's wrong with living with mom, but here are some things to consider:
1) If you have a good job that pays well, you can afford a home. First time home buyers can often get into a home with little money down. And interest rates are still damn low. You'd be amazed at how low your monthly payment will be.
2) If you're still not sure you can swing the house payment, or just don't need all that room, buy a home and rent out a room to a friend. If you buy a good home in a good part of town that's not too pricey, you could come out with a ton of equity five years from now (when you're ready to get married!). Pay a bit more on the mortgage each month and when Mrs. Right comes along you'll be sitting pretty for your first home together. By the way, if you go this route, research rental agreements on the 'net and get your friend to sign one.
