blanketbyday Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Moving back in with my parents was totally fine until the rest of my freaking family decided they were going to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 An attic in Tampa sounds hot as fuck. Its weird, Its built out like a loft type shit. there is a little staircase to get up there. they even have a shower/bath room and ac up there. it would basically be like living in a small studio apartment type deal but with no kitchen. not too bad. i love my parents but my mom and i like to argue about just about everything and i just see it getting out of hand rather quickly. well, i guess i am getting ahead of my self because i dont even have the job yet, but i just got thinking about it seriously since they want me to come back and meet the owners.

magalvsr13 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 i moved out for four years for school, back now for almost a year. sucks. it's nice being a little cheaper but my dad basically took over my bedroom and i have to fight with him for room. i can't wait to get back to the brief visits with parents.

partysmasher Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 i moved out when i'd just turned 23 and in the two a a bit years since i did so i've probably spent about seven nights back at my parents in total. I literally can't take it for more than two days at a time without getting really fucking bored, i really hope i never have to move back.

thesack18 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Im 23 and still at home. Living at home is closer then anywhere I can afford to rent that is close enough to work. I dont mind it here so much. Its just me and mum. If my younger sister was still here it would just be mental and I would probably be in prison. We do not get along. Glad she moved out a few months ago. My dad died just over 5 years ago so I've sort of stayed here longer then i would of liked to just to help out around the place. Take on the shit he used to do. But i cant stay here forever. Living at home has given me the opportunity to save up some money, even though i pay more in board money then anyone i know. Now i get to go backpacking around the world. So im happy with that. Once i get back from that ill be moving out to my own place. Looking forward to it, but worried about leaving mum here by herself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chappy5 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I moved out to go to school and moved back home was last summer, would have agian this summer but my parents sold the house and I don't have a room of my own in the new place. Plus my brother and step dad can be pricks, so now im renting with a roomate, it sucks! but it's better than sharing a room with the bro.

mcm1610 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I live at my mom's house, but she is in Boston for a year for treatment for Mylo fibrosis, so it doesn't really count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Well i am still waiting, right now the job in tampa is at the top of the list. But yesterday i got a call out of the blue from an agency here in town and set up an interview today at 3:30p I am also supposed to have a 3rd interview with this one place on friday, but that job is something i dont want, but its a job so if i got nothing else and they offered it to me i would take it. I just dont know if moving to tampa would be too tough on me and my girl. it would suck only seeing her and my dog like 9-12 days a month, and having to drive 8 hours round trip every weekend. The plus side is a job i would look forward too, and more money than what i was making before. Man, i wish they would call me already... im tired of waiting.

thebiglebowski Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 My advice to you--be really careful when renting out your place. It seems like something that is pretty easy, but my dad has been doing it for years and it is a total pain in the ass. People don't pay, they mess up the house, etc. The only good tenant he ever had was someone on government assistance. The money was just direct deposited into his account. If you think the house is worth up to $800 a month, rent for $600 (if you can afford it), and be really careful about who you rent to. People will treat it more like a home and not like some place they are staying at temporarily if you don't try to squeeze every penny you can out of them. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 yeah well im not ready to rent out the place yet. My fiance is staying in the house until she finishes school. hopefully the market gets better in the next year but i doubt it. Im excited and bummed just cause im gonna be away from her and my puppy for the next 8-10 months excpet for weekends. Driving 7-8 hours every weekend is gonna get old fast.

adamlikesmusic Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Driving 7-8 hours every weekend is gonna get old fast. That's gonna suck, although after making the same trip over and over, it seems to shorten itself (not actually, obviously, but in terms of how long it feels). When I first went down to school, driving up for shows seemed like the worst thing ever, but after doing it so many times, it's actually a relatively enjoyable ride. Some good music helps break it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrc Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 true, Now im thinking what will i do with my turntable, and my huge amount of records... do i bring em with me or just rock em on weekends when i visit my girl. Other than that my move should be really easy... just my laptop, clothes and maybe my NES and some games or some shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingvinyl Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I'm 30. I went home during college summers. At 22, I stopped going home because I was so tired of my parent's 'authority'. Little did I realize that having to pay for everything, even when renting, can get expensive quick. I was taking a lot for granted. In 2005, at 25, I was in grad school, living in New Orleans. When Katrina happened and my place was inundated with water, I had to bite the bullet and go live with them in Florida. It was awful. I was totally independent at that point, I paid all my bills. I was making it. It felt like a fail to have to go back home. In hindsight, it wasn't terrible. I saved a ton of cash. But it was constricting and I know they were unhappy at times. It was only a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benchwarmer Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 My wife and I are renovating the apartment in my mom's house right now because we're going to move back in there. everything is so expensive, and if we ever want to buy a house/move, we need to do something to save money, since we're not doing that renting anywhere else. oh well.

lonesomexloveus Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 living with my parents and just turning 26 is such a bummer, but there's no way that i'd be halfway to a good sized down payment for a little house if i didn't live here. so while other people i know are so cool and independent and living paycheck to paycheck in a crappy apartment, hopefully by this time next year, ill have a decent down payment and will be house hunting.
