If you had the opportunity to live with your folks for a few months to save money would you do it?
Would you be willing to sacrifice privacy?

Re: Dilemma.........what would you do?
a few months isn't bad. Although i would probably rather live with someone else's parents than my own!

Re: Dilemma.........what would you do?
FH and I currently live together in a great apartment. We would not want to move in with either set of parents even if it meant saving money.
However, I'll be working at a law firm in NYC for 6 weeks this summer (our apartment is out of state, and I'll be working at a firm out here for the other 6 weeks). I'm tentatively planning to stay with my parents on LI for those 6 weeks because it would be hard to find a sublease and it would be easier to stay at home for that short time (+ last minute wedding details). However, if FH and I move back to NY after I graduate, we will not be moving in with my parents even though an apt in Manhattan is $$$$$
Sorry if I sound like a hypocrite!

It depends on how much we would be saving and how bad we need the money.

Re: Dilemma.........what would you do?
other wasnt there so i picked if it was only for a few,.....
FH and I are moving into his parents basement. We will have our own space but be under the same roof. If you will have privacy then i think its fine if your parents are the kind who always have to be up your assss then no way lol
But i did that bc our families have no personal boundaries whatsoever - and as a newlywed couple who has never lived together before we would have no chance in hell of surviving - and i love him waay to much.
We need a solid start

You are RIGHT! As a married couple I could never do it. As of right now, we have 6 months to go!

Re: Dilemma.........what would you do?
It all depends on your relationship with parents. If you can get along then go for it - save the money toward a down payment on ahouse - yes you would sacrifice privacy but look at the big picture

As a married couple, no way. I wouldn't live above, below, to the right or left of either set of parents. We bought a house in the same neighborhood because we want to be close, but we are 'grown-ups' now and are doing an adult thing (getting married), so I believe it's time to be adults and live on our own.

In the midwest you get grown up real fast when you graduate from highschool. You are expected to get out and go to college or got ot work and pay your own bills.
What if you're not married? But betrothed? What if you have been given an opportunity to let someone help you? Would you?
