"We’re in the same situation. I had to pay $500 to break our lease early when we renewed it. We thought we were buying a house this summer but soon realized we’d have made a HUGE mistake. We’ll be getting the full finished basement which has a full second kitchen (eat in) full bathroom and a living room that is big enough for a bed. not the biggest place we’ve ever lived but we also have the rest of the house when we want to be out of the basement. We’re calling it our “SOHO Loft” :)"

"My parents can’t sell their house in Bloomfield and have fallen on financial times. Fortunately for me and my wife we’ve been given a rare opportunity to help them out money wise (we’re both young and have very good jobs) and put a ton of money in the bank and wait on the sidelines. We currently rent and will be paying significantly less living back home (we’ll be back home Sept 30 2007). We’ll be prepared to buy at pretty much any time because we don’t own anything. It’s a pretty good feeling."

Sad. Our renter friend above will never buy a house because living in that basement is going to result in him getting divorced. What self-respecting woman is going to put up with living in her parents-in-law's basement? I know many woman who would IMMEDIATELY divorce their husbands if they even thought of this awful living arrangement!

I hope this guy has a pre-nup!
