relocate - 3 options ... whats the best one ..HELP ... decision need soon ..eek

[*charmalea*]

OK so , DH and i are taking on a new venture .. its not risky in like going bankrupt risky BUT it may take a while(about 6 mths) to see a regualar income thats more than the one were on .

soooooo would you move in with your PIL to reduce rent? we live 45-50 mins away from work and pay $330 wk rent.

and we can move in with PIL close to work about 15- 20 mins away from work for about $100 a wk .

its a 3 bed townhouse with a cleanfreak MIL ..!!! arrggh

OR we could move into a house thats located on the business premisies for about $150 a week ..... with no yard but is close to parks etc - the hosue is basic but not bad ... its a 3bdrm but only will be using 2 as 1 is storage for someone else ...

ORRRRR live here for $330 a wk travel to work 45 mins away and come home about 6:30 -7 each night .... miss DH like crazy .. but be close to my frineds (5 mins) .. .
which is what id perfer as we only have just moved in to our dream "rental" lol ... i love it here and close to shops and frineds

What to do ?????

thoughts ...


oh if we relocate ... we can save for a house and be in 1 in about 2 yrs ... if we stay here ... it wont be for another 5-7 yrs to get a deposit ... hmmmmmm

I dont understand option 1 there are 2 amounts and different distances from work??

I think id go for the second one - house on business premises

[*charmalea*]

the 1st option is we are living 45 mins away atm in a rented house @$330 a wk .... moving into PIL house , we will pay them $100 a week and will be heaps closer ... but living in a shoe box ..
saving upfront $230 pwk ..
i just re - read the post .. doesnt make sense does it lol .. off to fix it

I'd live on site - much easier travelwise, means your DH can be 'available' more hours, but not necessarily be at the workshop, KWIM?? Plus everything you'd save on fuel.

I didn't like the 'stay at PIL' idea, because you're gonna be stressed to the max with the new business - do you really wanna add to that the stress of living with a 'neat freak MIL'??

I'd move - possibly with PIL.

I know its hard being away from friends tho! If youre moving closer to Bris we can do catch ups

If it were me I'd live on the premises you'd save the same amount even though the rent is higher as there'd be no travelling expenses and you'd have more privacy than you would at PIL's house.
