to move back in with my parents at 29?

[brussellsprouting]

So to be fair I never thought I'd be considering it but me and dp broke up 6 months ago and I'm fed up of being on my own all the time, I'm also worried about the rent I'm paying it is £1000 per month and I only earn £1600 which was fine when I was only paying half but now I'm paying it all I have hardly anything left over to spend or save. I get on well with my parents and they mentioned in passing I always had a room at home if I wanted one but I haven't lived with them for 5 years so would it be a backwards step? They own their house outright and wouldn't take any rent money from me as long as I was saving it instead - obviously I would contribute to bills and food shop etc. But I mentioned it to someone in my office and they found it hilarious that I would even consider it but I don't know why it is such an issue in England, I have relatives in South Africa and they live in a house with 3 generations as do a lot of other countries, should I just go for it and forget what others think or is it really weird?

Gah, that should have said sil, not soil!

your not enough

Me and my two sisters are mid twenties / early thirties and our parents have always made it clear that their house is always a home to us should we ever need to go back. We all moved out pretty early (I was the oldest at 21) and both sisters have been back as sporadic stop gaps and it's helped them loads.
I don't think I would do it personally because I have DC and all my friends / life that I've built are not in my hometown (plus our family all get on SO well when we aren't living under the same roof!) but I would say in your situation, with a chance to get on the property ladder and no dependants, I would grab the chance with both hands. And tell meddling colleagues to piss off and butt out.

Gosh yes, do it. People buy houses later in life now, it’s so common. It’s short term “pain” for long term gain! I loved living at home even when I was older, I moved out at 26 but only because I met someone to buy with.

I did it at 32 with no hesitation in a similar situation. I have lived in plenty of houseshares and whilst that was fun at best, it was hideous at worst. Some people make rubbish housemates.

Do make sure you're all on the same page with regards chores but I'd definitely do it. It isn't anyone else's business whatsoever.

Move back for now but make sure you have a plan so you don't get disheartened. Whether it be looking for another place, saving for deposit to buy etc. Sometimes it's just good to take the pressure off yourself so you can figure out what you really want to do next. Like a little holiday from life.

I have a sibling that still lives at home in their 30's & they've made no effort to find anywhere. They have it so cushy as they pay board as & when they want.

I would say check how much they want towards board to include meals. Then check if they have any rules, like curfews, bringing people back whether friends or a guy you've met in a club.

Check also if they're going to apply a time limit to it. So they might be happy with you being there but only for a year or two.

As my sibling still lives at home and turned the bedroom I shared with siblings into their own man cave, I'm actually officially homeless as my parents said it was first come first serve & not fair on my sibling to have to shift their stuff.

So where do I start……I’m 26 married with 3 young children all under the age of 5. My husband works hard & is on a brilliant salary but we have come to a halt. We live in a 2 bedroom house & just about to complete our sale but that’s not the worst of it, we haven’t got any where to go, we can’t get a mortgage due to personal debts & loans we’ve tried every Mortage lender even tried shared ownership but we’ve been told the same thing over & over again “you need to sale your house pay your debt off with the equity & start again” so my lovely parents have offered us to go back to there 3 bedroom house & contribute some money & save as much as we can but with 3 children & a husband is that all to much? Is that to much of a risk ?? We could put back £1500 a month into savings. Or do we just stay put in our two bedroom house & let the debt naturally go (which will be about 4 years) 2 boys have there room our little girl have our room & we move down stairs & invest in a decent sofa bed. Please help it’s so stressful
