    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.

    I'd live on site. While you're settling into the business you will be working longer hours, if you have less income the savings will make a big difference and living with the ILs will make you crzy lol.

    I'd go for the second one - house on business premises.

    Yep, I would move onto the business premises to save money. I would never move in with PIL, I think it would just cause extra stress and I would feel bad maybe moving in to their home just so I could save some money.

    BUT I think most importantly I would move where you would be happiest!! Anything can seem easier if you're happy

    I agree with the others, house on the premises. Yes your mates will be 45 minutes away, but you see them less than DP has to travel to work...plus the 'getaway' might do you good, whereas transit before and after work is stressful.

    I'd live on the premises. You already think living with PIL will be difficult - I can guarantee you'll find it even more difficult than you think. The travelling from where you are will put on a strain on you all. And the cost also makes a difference.

    The house on the premises might not be flash, but you don't have to stay there long. Just use it as a stepping stone while you build the business and save some money.

    How exciting for you!!
