While recently, the economy has changed, but I still buy hookers.
While the economy has recently changed, I still buy hookers.
Grammatically, they are both right I think, but the first one is VERY awkward sounding.

Two commas can be used to set off additional information that appears within the sentence but is separate from the primary subject and verb of the sentence. These commas help your reader figure out your main point by telling him or her that the words within the commas are not necessary to understand the rest of the sentence. In other words, you should be able to take out the section framed by commas and still have a complete and clear sentence.

Unless you are writing a law document, break that up into two sentences. It sounds to me like you will create a run-on sentence.
Instead of this:
1) While the economy has changed recently, I still will not live with my mother.
Try this:
2) The economy has degraded recently. However, I still will not live with my mother.
Example #1 is correct, but it isn't as clear as it could be. Example #2 gives more information, is easier to read and write properly, and it has no chance of being a run-on sentence.
