My kid…

They move inland and have too many people in one unit. Or they move in with drunk crazy people for $800 and half the electric bill:

View attachment 2642:

as someone who has answered a LOT of "roommate wanted" ads, I have to say that's a good one. at least they are honest!

he drinks and you get a lock on your door: that could work.
 
AND…they are out signing their lease and paying deposits and rent, right now.

So, all the balls she had in the air…job, home, where the child will attend school…have fallen to the ground and she can stop juggling. They will be paying about 230% of what they are paying now, AND getting 230% of the square feet they have now. And 200% of bedrooms and 250% of bathrooms and 200% of garage space.

it’s a reasonable deal, but if there had been something a bit smaller and a bit cheaper, it would allow for saving to eventually buy a house. Now they just have to wait for us to die.

Or.... They could start stepping up contributions to house-buying savings as that newly-accessible part of the pay scale translates to real extra pay.

Glad they have a new spacious place! :)
