To rent flat with boyfriend

Sorry if this doesn't belong in AIBU - I wasn't 100% sure where to put it!

Me and boyfriend been together a year, both 25 and currently live at my parents house.

They don't mind having us here, but I have been thinking lately about us moving out and renting a flat together. I would obviously rather get a house and mortgage together but neither of us are in the financial position to do that at the moment.

Am I crazy to be thinking about renting a flat while we can carry on living with my parents at a much cheaper cost? I just feel as though we are 25 now and need our own space, but also don't want to feel as though we're 'throwing money away' when we don't necessarily need to.

Move out. I doubt your parents really want your boyfriend living there!!!

A house share isn’t necessarily a six person, This Life sort of situation. You could share a two bed with one other person or another couple.

Not pushing it (might still not appeal), just wanted to flag that.
