Is moving back home with parents to save money worth sacrificing your happiness and peace of mind?
I moved back home to save up for a house. However, I am constantly stressed by my mom and low class neighbors. I am on the fence about just moving back out and renting an apartment and postponing my home buying dreams. Would rent and not save a s much or stay home and save and be stressed for a year. The plan was to stay there for another 12 months

- Stay! Mooch off of them for a little while. Then, when you have enough saved, RUN.
- yes just like me living with my parents to finish school is so worth it in the end!!
- That's up to you. Do you think that waiting another year is going to kill you to wait for a house compared to living at home for one year? At least if you are renting you have the freedom of what you want in your life, the main reason why you want a house anyway, isn't it? (I moved back once and it didn't take long for me to get back out too)
- If you're "stressed" chances are it's because you are allowing something to affect you. Some stress is a choice, you could just as easily ignore things and go on with your life. You choose what you allow to annoy you, for whatever reason(s), in this case, (reading between the lines) you apparently feel somehow "superior" to your mother and her "low-class neighbors". You parents didn't have to let you come back to live at home so you can save money for a house, they probably did it as a favor out of love (they didn't owe it to you). The least you could do is show some gratitude for them and show some respect for them and their "low-class" neighbors. You actually believe that having you living with them again isn't an inconvenience to them that doesn't cramp their style?
- It depends on how important it is for you to own your house in 12 months. Also how much longer will it take you to save without living at home?
