Grrr ... gf is moving out and it looks like I'll be moving back home with the parents
Oh well, atleast I won't have to pay rent. it's gonna be hard since I've lived away from home for 3 years now, and then I have to go home and share the house with 3 other ppl.

So when your gf moves out it automatically means it's time to move home?

Why can't you get your own place? Was GF paying the rent? I don't understand... :confused:

Yeah... having the GF move out should save you a bunch of money... Keep apartment + HDTV or something just cause she's gone :)

her income was helping us pay rent among other bills. So, so to speak, I would need a roommate, but I can't live with another guy.

it happens - my wife and I are going to have to move in with her parents for a few weeks (maybe months) as the house we were buying has fallen through. We've brought another and are waiting for the chain to complete :(

The offer we had on our flat was to good to put on hold so it's just one of those things

Get parents like mine.

They nag once in a while, but they're fine with my girlfriend coming over to spend the night. I can't imagine anything else getting in the way of moving home.

Save money, say you're saving for a house, and your parents might not even ask you to pitch in some money.

But you CAN move home?

Is it a one-bedroom place or something? I'd get a roommate before I ever considered moving home.

As much as I love my parents, I could never live under the same roof with them again......

Congratulations on leeching off their goodwill. :roll:

bleh, over a quarter of my paycheck goes to groceries and appliances for the house. I'm not the one complaining about moving home because I don't have enough money.

I've considered moving home a couple times but never have. I ended up moving out the day after I finished HS.

Why can't you have a guy roommate? Check out roommates.com , I found my last roommate on there.

I would consider moving back home as the last option, so bust your a$$ to find a better option.

I don't understand the stipulation that you can't have a guy roommate. Are you homophobic or something?

That's nothing guys. My uncle has been living with his father (my grandfather) for months and he is close to 50 years old.

if you are spending 25% of your income on food you need to find a better job. you should be spending closer to 5-10%, 25% is nuts
