Moving back in with parents

Actually. OP your situation doesn't seem too dire, HA flats are quite sought after, rents are cheaper, places are well kept up, repairs done promptly.There are many people in sub-standard acc. who would give their right arm to be in your situation. . many of the things are happening near you, rather than to you.
.You say "near a pub" like its a bad thing . Perhaps you should look on the bright side of life and count the advantages you have.
Travelling to work by Public transport is virtually mandatory in London, that includes Hedge Fund Mgrs, Stockbrokers and MP's. Implying that Car ownership is a pinnacle of achievement is very narrow-minded, and typical of Thatcher :rolleyes:.
Moving back in with Parent/s is great as a money saving option, among other things.

To me there's truth in the spirit of the statement but not in the exact wording.

Any man who has to ride a bus to work after the age of 30 can count himself a failure in life.

would be more accurate to me.

I'm 37 and ride a bicycle to work to save money on bus fares. Guess I might as well stick my head in the oven! :rotfl:

AA, well, you can consider yourself a fit failure if that's any consolation

At the age of 24, I think you should go and live with your parents – that is how it used to happen until comparatively recently in this country, and it is still quite normal in most parts of the world. People in this country are just going to have to get used to the idea again that homes don't grown on trees. It's only Brown's 'boom' propaganda that has convinced people that they 'must' own property immediately they leave college (or school).

I was born when my parents were living with my grandparents and they continued to do so until I was 7. My husband's parents lived with his grandmother for the same amount of time. That is how it used to be.
We are now in the position where in order for my eldest daughter (aged 23) and her boyfriend to save up money to live together (hopefully get married), we are allowing the boyfriend to move in. We too feel awkward about them sleeping together in our own house but we have converted our dining room downstairs into a bedroom (we have a bathroom downstairs as well) so that it is not too awkward for everybody. We will be charging the boyfriend rent - not a great amount - just enough to cover expenses. Although we do not really want to be in the position where we add to the household and I have 6 adults to look after instead of the 3 children moving out, we have to make this gesture so that they dont get themselves into debt like we did, wanting it all now.
So I think provided that clear rules of the household are set that it would be a good idea for the OP to move back, and perhaps her partner would reconsider and move in with her.
Hope you make the best decision for all concerned.
