    I would sell the house so fast.
    There is nothing like being debt free.
    I make $47k and have no debt and
    My house is paid for.
    I feel rich.

      Agreed. The thing that makes me say it’s a bad idea is that if she sells for $300k, she gets $282k in actual money. So she still has a little over a year of debt payment to go to get debt free. Then she probably has to save for another 2 years just to repurchase. And wherever she purchases, she’ll be out like 3% in closing costs.
      So she might as well keep the house.

      The American mentality against multi-generational living arrangements is short-sighted and selfish. Most people in the world live with three generations of family under the same roof at one point or another. It's one thing to use grandparents as babysitters but something entirely different to have your kids close to your parents to learn from them and check their bratty tendencies and to help the grandparents as they age. Shuttling them off to often deplorable conditions in "nursing homes" so the parents can keep living their self-centered "independent" lives is one of the ugliest aspects of this society.

    Don’t sell the house. You will have to pay commission fees, moving fees and then pay to rent somewhere. Then you will have to re-save 20% down payment plus closing costs, while housing prices may continue to rise. There is no financial benefit to selling in this scenario. If you had $500,000 in equity and could sell and downsize to a $300,000 home that would be different.

    Start the planning process for selling the house. Map out how much cleaning/renovation/repairs/staging you want to do. You'd also have to find an apartment you like and can afford, but you could use this process to rent in your target neighborhood/area. That would give you an opportunity to research the schools, etc. (and establish residence in the neighborhood of your target school).
    The actual process of listing and selling the house may only take 2-3 months but between planning and prepping your house for sale, and then finding and moving into a new temporary location, this process might take a good 12 months anyway. As long as you're on Dave's plan right now, that would mean debt-free in a year after you sell the house.

You don’t have to stretch it to three years, cut it in half, you make enough to survive, you have your own home, many people don’t have that, renting to me is a waste, And puts money in someone else’s pocket to do what they will with it, so they will be gaining, and you will be losing! True, it’s better than nothing! Bottom line, Continue with having Self Control and Manage Your Money, Which is actually Gods Money! ! Whatever I am sharing with you, I have do myself!

    Selling the house doesn’t help much,. Since they really don’t see themselves there for much longer, that’s the main reason I would say sell it and move. I do agree that they don’t need to move in with the parents. I’ve seen how it tends to work when a married couple with a child lives with the grandparent. Someone is always annoyed; someone is always trying to tell someone else the “right way” to do things. Someone is always imposing their culture upon someone else.
    They should go through the numbers of different potential plans and outcomes and figure out what they can do without making themselves too uncomfortable.

    The baby complicates things. #1. If living with the parents would put a strain on your marriage, DO NOT DO IT. End of story, just stay in the home and grind it out. #2. Don't sell and rent if you're not going to save (much) money anyway. #3. But if the parental/in-law relationship is strong, sell the house now while the market is strong, take your free place to live with family (the babysitter is a big bonus too), immediately pay off the high interest stuff (car and credit cards), and knock out the remaining $75k-ish in student loans over the next 12-18 months. Then 6 more months of grinding for a down payment and you're ready to move to the place you want to be, having no debt except the new mortgage.

      @@davidcarter9211 I don't disagree. Just like Dave usually points out now, there are 'hidden' costs in owning a house making it more expensive than renting in every scenario. I could sell my house for $100k more than I bought it for, but then where would I move? to another house that someone else is selling for $100k profit? The only time you make money on the sale of a house is when your kids move out and you downsize to something smaller.

    1.5 years ago I was so stressed out with home ownership (we could afford it but vs what we were renting for it was so much more). This year rent is going for MORE than what I pay for my home INCLUDING utilities, internet, etc. We generally pay 1400-1800 together with insurance, utilities, internet, mortgage, etc. Rent is 1800 now for a 2 bedroom apartment... WITHOUT utilities included! Like what! Ridiculous.. Im so happy we landed a $1200 for the short time we rented.

    If you sell, 75k pays off that much of the debt. 73k left and you rent as cheap as you can without being in a squattersville, and 14 months from now you are debt free. Then you are at the point of net zero and you start saving for a down payment, etc. This way us much easier so to speak in time wise of being on rice and beans. 3 years is a long time to do nothing, go nowhere etc.

    Ya, sell the house. If you can get rid of the debt with something as simple as selling a house then ya do it. I would live with your parents for a bit, then pay for an apartment for a couple years after that. If you want to get another house later on you can (loan free). There is no reason to live 3 to 5 years in poverty while you grind away on that massive debt. Sell the house, pay off your loans and credit cards, and live free.

      In addition to being a PE or Science teacher like @Charlotte Elizabeth said, you can become a paramedic (different than an EMT), work for a medical materials manufacturer, bio-pharmaceticul industry. There's probably even more careers out there.
      I am a history major who worked tech support straight out of college. All they cared about was that I had a bachelor's. Eventually I worked hard and kept moving up. When I was 25 I ended up finding out about what would eventually be my career path. Heck the job I am in now I didn't even know was a possible subset of my career path until 2 years ago.
      So you may start down one path and end up finding out about an entirely different type of job you qualify for as you go along.

      What do you think $142 gross equals after taxes? Maybe $105,000... Then add mortgage , insurance, property taxes, water, electricity, food, baby expenses etc. no way they have $75,000 to pay off debt .

    • @mikebrownbassist802
      @mikebrownbassist802 4 роки тому +1

      Married filing jointly tax bracket for $142k is 22% which equals $110,760. Subtract out $75k and that leaves $35,760. That’s $2,980 a month. If you cook at home, you can feed everyone for $500 for the month. That leaves $2480 for mortgage and bills. The principle, interest, taxes and insurance for a $300k home with 5% down is about $1,800. That leaves $680. $150 for two cheap cellphones plans leaves $530 for electricity, gas, trash, water, etc. You can use cloth diapers, get clothes from thrift stores, switch to a land line, sell your car and use uber/public transit, etc. If you want to cut deep, you can. You are not living like this forever. Cut expenses until it hurts, and then cut a little more. I paid off $170k in 5.5 years. I made $35k for the first 2.5 years and never made more than $90k. They make $142k working full time. They can do overtime or a second part time job. Depends on how bad you want it.

    I'd go the opposite direction. There's nothing wrong with living in the two extra rooms in mom's house in order to get out of debt faster. Also, the female commentator is 100% correct, they will have a built in baby sitter potentially, unless they're not helpful parents. Will they save some daycare costs and have the baby raised by family instead of strangers? I say win-win and there's nothing wrong with it. Unless the parents house is an unhealthy environment, it's stupid to have 2 rooms sitting there doing nothing while they pay a mortgage instead of getting out from underneath our debt... And they don't even want to be in that house long term.

Older people do not have the stamina or patience to deal with a screaming baby, but people expect that they will be delighted to give free babysitting. Older folks need to focus on their health and peace. It's not fair to assume they are okay with taking in such a disruption in their life because of their adult children's bad financial decisions. Thus family is not homeless, they just need to pay their bills out of debt like everyone else. They chose to start a family, not their elderly parents. This assuming attitude is so selfish to me and I amna millennial. I will never understand it.

Especially if you have a mother with extra rooms thats willing to let you stay temporary. They will be debt free in 7 months compared to Dave’s 5-7 year plan. Economy is constantly changing and in a few years your home might not be worth as much and your income might not be the same due to layoffs etc. strike while the iron is hot and pay off as much as you can as fast as you can!!! Once debt is paid entirely paid off stay with mother a few more months to save for down payment on new home.
