You are guys are talking about getting your kids out, I'm sitting here at 29 living with my mum. :rotfl: If it helps with deciding on the amount of house keeping, I pay a nominal rent but a percentage of bills. The percentage varies depending on earnings.
Did you know about google drive and microsoft cloud services? They have a small amount of cloud space available for free.0 -
Another one here, I was 29 before moving out
Went back to get last item to be removed, my bed frame, to find curtains down and carpet/underlay
removed. They couldn't wait :eek:
20 years later, when I bought my house, I moved back in for 9 months until renovations were complete.
So you just never know, if they move out, the day may come when they move "back in" :rotfl:
Also got that team Knowhow insurance, I paid £4.50/month, only chromebook developed a
fault, took it back, and they said, "go pick another one"
but wanted same model, which they didn't have, so asked if they would repair mine. They did - then I cancelled the monthly payment Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:MF[STRIKE] March 2030[/STRIKE] Yes that does say 2030 :eek: Mortgage Free 21.12.18 _party_Now a Part Timer from 27.10.190 -
I left at 18 couldn't wait to go. Did "boomerang" back (before that was even a thing) for 6 months after uni, but as soon as I had a job and got a rental deposit together I was off.

In August I will have had a child living at home for 30 years......I am not sure I signed up for that :rotfl:
My two have been boomerang kids, but DS has gone for good now (owns his own house without any partner to break up with). DD (27) has left once and would like to leave again but although she has a deposit, running a house on her own would be a struggle. She has a boyfriend now and I am keeping my fingers crossed.
I have always said that I want them to leave home for the right reasons not because I have pushed them out. Although when she finally leaves we might sell up and buy a one bedroom flat :rotfl:1 -
I have to say that my family has prior. My mum's parents kicked her out... after her wedding, which she had nearly a year after buying the house with my dad. :rotfl::rotfl: Her reasoning was that it was less of a commute to work and dad didn't make her a cup of tea in the morning.
Busy Mee, I think most of my friends have been boomerang kids, one (a few months shy of 30) has no plans to move out because they think a partner will come who will have their own place. Yours seem much more sensible!0 -
OH and I were both 21 when we bought our first house (a wee 2 bed which cost us 42K) - very little chance of that happening nowadays! (The same house now sells for about 160k) hence why I'd be happy to have DD and boyf here whilst they save up a deposit - they've both got H2B ISAs, although DD has more in hers than bf does at the mo
