after the wedding living

do most brides already live with their FH?
what are your plans after the wedding meaning are you going to buy your own home...condo...or rent??

i do not want to rent as i think thaat money can be saved for a house down payment so after the wedding i want to live in an apt in my house...FH perfers not to but after the wedding if we can afford to buy perhaps a condo maybe we will do that...otherwise its living here for about 2 years rent free to save....

Re: after the wedding living

FH and I live in separate places. We will live in my apt after the wedding until we are ready to purchase a house.

Re: after the wedding living

FH and I both still live at home, to keep costs down. FH will move into our house about a month before the wedding and then I;ll officially move in after the wedding

fh and i live seperately.. we're not sure if we're going to sell out individual homes.. but we know we're going to buy one together.. we're thinking about just renting them(our current homes ) out for income..

Re: after the wedding living

We are doing the rent free and save thing... My parents are being more then generous letting us live in the house rent free till the wedding. FH and I live in a basement apartment in my parents house and we plan on doing so till we can afford a house. FH was not keen on the idea, but when he thought it was his own idea or heard from his friends how great it would be to sock away money that way then he changed his mind. BUT it had to seem like it was his own idea. I did not force it on him. So he moved in in April and it has worked out great! Starting in January we will be paying some rent but in my eyes it is minimal compared to what we would be paying in a apartment complex. Good luck and let it become his idea, then he will go for it.

Re: after the wedding living

FH and I lived at home until 3 weeks ago.

We are actually living in the apartment FH's dad owns. It's a great arrangement because it's rent free (only utilities) and allows us to save. When his dad is here (about 2-3 weeks out of the year), he will stay in the upstairs apartment. We thought about buying something, but are holding off.

Re: after the wedding living

I have lived with FH for about 5 years now. We are currently in an apt and plan on moving to New Hampshire about a year after the wedding ... so that's fall 2009 ... whether we will try to buy right away or rent something in the area we think we'll like and then buy, I am not sure.

Re: after the wedding living

We live together in an apartment now. After the wedding we will start saving for a house and hopefully in 2-3 years we'll be able to buy one and until then just stay where we are.

Re: after the wedding living

We bought a house together last March, so our living situation won't be changing

BUT we are going to finally start doing some landscaping this year - so the house will look different!

FH & I lived seperate and we saved our money and bought our house a little over a year ago, he proposed to me on our first New Years in our new home.

Re: after the wedding living

We both live in our own apartments now. After the wedding I will move into the house he rents. We'll live there until we can put some money away to buy a house.

Re: after the wedding living

FH & I live together, we have for 3 1/2 years and I love it!

After the wedding we will buy a house.

ETA: We talked about buying a house before the wedding, but decided it was too much stress to handle that + the wedding planning at the same time. Many couples have bought homes before the wedding, and it worked out great for them.
