Im a 32 year old single woman. I work at a university, and because of the pandemic, I won’t be required to work on campus again until late April or early May 2021.
My goal is to purchase a home by 35. I currently live in an apartment and my lease is up at the end of October. I’m thinking of going to live with my parents, who are two hours away, November through April, to save until I go back to work in person. I’ll probably save between $10k and $12k, which would be awesome! As a 32 year old who has lived on my own since 25, going back to live with my parents will be a little weird. My parents are great, but I’ll temporarily lose some of my autonomy and independence living under their roof. My social and dating life will also take a hit, but I’m not really comfortable dating right now anyway due to Covid.
I’m leaning towards not renewing my lease because in my adult life, I don’t think I’ll be ever get another opportunity to just save for 6 months while working from my parents home. Plus with the pandemic, it will be nice to be around family instead of in my apartment alone.
What are y’alls thoughts?
