big decisions...
so our lease here is up soon, and weve been wanting to figure out what we need to do to buy a house. so weve been talking to dave (aunt kims wonderful boyfriend) about what we need to do. buying with no money down isnt an option really anymore, so were coming up with plans on how to save money. the easiest is to downsize life and living expenses that go with that. right now our rent is 1450, utilities run us about 150 to 175 a month and the list goes on and on. there are a few things we could downgrade but would only make a couple hundred a month difference. so it looks like were toying with the idea of buying a 5th wheel trailer and living in that for a year. brians parents have pleanty of space on their property and his mom is actually excited we would want to live there. if we went with that idea we could have the trailer paid off and save over 20000 in a year and then we could go on to buy a house with a nice down.the other option that seems to be fading out would be to get an apartment, but finding one that will let us have both dogs is hard to find and it would take us a lot longer to save. will keep you all updated. isnt that exciting... your little trailer trash sister! haha

actually now actually moving in with his parents is getting talked about too... if we did that we should be able to have money for a down saved in about 5 months.. sounds more reasonable
good luck with your decision! money money money... yuck!! when would you move in with them?

we would be moving in with them in june.... and i gave brian the deadline of november. all the motivation i need is to get back into our own place.... but this time it would be our own place, not a rental! kinda sucks but i think it will be worth it.
It took us 10 years to get in a position to buy a house. Sounds like you are way ahead of the game! Congratulations.
Let us know. I would like to come up and help you move. I haven't asked Dad yet. (:
Not bad. 5 months will fly! Then you can have your own nest. Just think, Billy and I will probably live with his mom 5 months while he tries to find a job... and the outcome: A RENTED APARTMENT! Ikk! Sounds like you guys have a great plan!
