I don’t know about it being taboo for us. It’s a blessing you’re able to do that, for alot of black people this just isn’t an option. Congratulations on this chapter 👍🏾
I agree, I never knew it to be taboo in the black community either, but we do sometimes, in our minds, think things that are not true based on how we subconsciously feel. It's a blessing to have another place to call home and the only shame is in not seeing a blessing of God for what it is.
Hannah, I’ve been a silent viewer for a couple years now. I’m 28 and recently had to move in with family due to a dispute with my landlord. I’ve been feeling so defeated and depressed. It feels like I’m taking 20 steps back. You give me hope to keep my head up and try to be positive.
Ish happens… It’s OK. You did it once, you can do it again. Don’t EVER feel defeated over material ish (being on your own, etc). I promise, it’s going to be OK (this too shall pass)… Try to change your perspective AND use this move to your advantage! If you can (once you can), save, save, save, save.
I’m a mom of 2 sons 22 and 21. I encourage each of them to stay with me as long as possible. Save money and prepare. You’re making boss moves for yourself Hannah.
I remember when i was younger telling my two oldest to move out and then i had to search my soul to remember how that felt when i moved out and the financial strain it created…my 3rd child just turned 18 i told her to stay as long as she needs.
I totally understand where you’re coming from. I recently sold my house because I could no longer afford It moved in with my parents. I’ll be 40 in December and I’m starting a new career. I am totally blessed that my parents are even able for me to come and live with them.
Hannah, I too am 30 years old. My mom passed away in 2020, at the time I was living by myself. Fast forward to 2021 I relocated to a new state. In June of this year I was laid off. Things have been very hard financially & there are so many nights I wish that I could call my mom & move back home. When my mom was alive I ALWAYS HAD THE OPTION TO GO BACK HOME. It is a blessing to be able to move in with family while you figure things out. Wishing you so much success , healing and financial abundance on this new journey. 💕
It's okay to move back in with family. It's not a sign of failure. I rather be living comfortably at home with my people than be begging out here in the streets, any day.
I too moved back in with my family this year. I've gone through alot of life changes this year and as you stated it is soo expensive and I honestly don't regret it.. I went from paying $1600 in rent to my stepdad allowing me to stay my first 3 months home rent free then only charging me $400 for everything excluding food. It does feel like you're giving up a piece of you but it's only temporary and it's for a greater purpose. Do what you have to do to get where you want to be ❤
This is a great way to start this good Saturday morning, got my Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee I’m ready 😂 I think you made a good move Hannah. I moved back in with my dad when I was 22 and I’m 27 now and I’m able to save so much more money, I got a new car, I help my dad with his bills and I’ve improved my credit tremendously. At this point I may not move out until I get married😂 but the cost of living these days is literally insane so I don’t blame you for leaving. Congrats on the move !
I'm 57 and had to move in with my 30 year old daughter six years ago. Things happen and it is tough now a days. No matter what your age is or where you are in life
Girl no need to feel like a failure or lacking. There are so many blended families living together due to the economy. You are getting yourself together and if it means downsizing,it’s ok. You don’t have anything to prove to anyone. You do you and be great!
Listen, I moved back in with my parents at 35 to attend grad school. I made a 3 year plan and stuck to it. I have since bought a home and graduated. If you have the ability do that, do it. We put so much emphasis on age when measuring accomplishments. Those three years allowed me to spend, what I didn’t know at the time, would be my father’s last years on earth. Do what’s right for you and your life goals, the blessings you will get from and give to others is abundant❤.
Hannah, God is setting you up for a huge blessing. Set you a quiet time with God daily, and read his word and listen to his guidance! You just listed so many blessings in this situation. You got this!
HUGE BLESSING to be able to move back with family. Many people don’t have this option so this is beautiful to see. I went through this 2 years ago when I was preggo. I had to move back to my hometown in a family members house. I was so sad but it was SO needed for me to be where I am now. This is the start of a new journey for you ❤
In this economy I encourage anyone who can comfortably go back home or stay home to do so. It sucks to be working 2-3 jobs just to be able to live comfortably on your own.
Me AND my 3 children had to move in with family last year. The divorce is almost final and we moved into our new home a week ago. It’s such a blessing to have somewhere to go when life is lifing ❤.
What a blessing to have this as an option 🥰 and a smart choice on your part girlie. You may inspire others to consider if this is an option in their life! Low-key, American’s move out alone too soon anyway. My kids don’t have to leave until they get married/long term committed relationship. Even then, as a couple they can live with us to save for a house. 🩵
I agree, I never understood why Americans force their children to move out so young. I’m grateful for my Caribbean upbringing because they don’t want you to leave until you’re married lol you have to literally leave on your on will !
26 and I moved back home after graduating last April. At times I feel like I’m not “adulting enough” and am missing out but it’s nice being able to save the $2000+ a month that would be going into rent and utilities. Plus after sacrificing groceries all through college I needed a break from the struggle lol 😅
I dont want my children to move out too fast unless they absolutely want to. I want them to work have a paid for vehicle, A1 credit, and a significant savings and checking balance before they go out in the world. Im also considering putting tiny homes on our land for them. I just want them to live peacefully with no financial stress.
I’m much older and had to do the same 30-32. I felt like I was so behind in life, after living with my parents for 2 years as an adult, I was able to purchase my own home, and eventually moved to another state. It was a time I used to recalibrate, store, save, and re-establish myself. From that I was able to take care of myself even more. After that experience when I hit a bump in the road my bounce back was insane. You will learn a lot in this season. The only life clock is the one God set for you. We often feel like failures and behind in life because we benchmark ourselves against others. I learned that it’s not fair to compare or parallel our lives against others because you don’t know what advantages, setups, and experiences others have compared to you. Only measure yourself to the you you’d like to be and move to become that person. Your timing is yours and no one else’s.
One thing I will say about you, Hannah, is that you are always honest and genuine! I appreciate that so much because there are so many people online who will put up a front and I just love how vulnerable you are! Keep doing what you’re doing because I know the Lord will honor your truth and honesty.
Girl, living alone is overrated. It's great you had the experience living solo ... but there's still so much beauty in having safe family to live with. There are people living alone because they literally have to and don't have safe family to live with. You are blessed. CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING THIS WISE MOVE! I'm super proud of you for doing what what is right for you right now. Wishing you all the joy this season has to bring ❤
Your internet auntie here, I want to encourage you and anyone else that may read this: if you ever have to go back home, it’s not a defeat. No matter what people would have you believe. It’s a step aside to leap forward. Cause it’s no joke out here right now! I’m proud of you, niece! ❤
Hannah, it's a blessing to have family that you can turn to. It's so mature of you to recognize what's best for you and act on it. Yes, it's best to choose this route instead of creating credit card debt. May you be blessed in all that you do.
Anyone out here thinking a job is enough to live, it’s not. So many young adults are moving in with family because of this. I’m so blessed that whenever i decide to move back, I can. I know a lot of people can’t say that. Between the job market, the economy, debt, it’s ridiculous. If I could, I would move to Wales or something 😂
Congrats to you for having the courage, ability, and willingness to move in with family after being on your own. 👍🏾 Praise God for positive family relationships to be able to do so. Also, thanks for being transparent on this platform instead of like so many others who act like everything is "great" in every aspect of their lives. Many blessings to you on your future endeavors.🙏🏾♥️🦋🦋
Hannah I am happy that you are happy! S/o to your sister for being that blessing for you, being around your family will be good for you! Definitely a win/win situation, you did what was necessary for right now🙏🏽🙌🏽💪🏽
This is your slingshot! You moving back with family is to send you forward into the space you really want. Mentally and financially. I’m so proud of you for being transparent with us. I look forward to all of the content coming!!
Perfect move Hannah! We are in a recession soon to be depression. I have completed a similar move; many will. Family are coming together to cushion this bump. Thank God we have loved ones who have a tribal mindset and know what to do when to do it! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Life has gotten so expensive where I’m to the point where I feel like I’m suffocating between rent and utilities and everything else in between it’s unbearable! I’m so close to moving back in with my parents because they would love me to come back home. I’m so happy that you will be surrounded by love and in a secure place where you can save up to get where you need to get in life. So many people are moving back home and I’m here for it! Here to support you through any life changes that you have or may go through. Here’s to a new chapter for now (:
It is taboo in American culture because other cultures even African do it. I am happy that you took the steps you needed so you can thrive. I can't wait to see whats to come 💜💜💜💜💜
Congratulations on your move. There is nothing wrong with moving back with family. I'm older, and lost my job in August - 5000 laid off. My lease ends in the Spring. I'll be moving in with my Daughter and Son-in-law. They asked me, and we feel it will be a win-win. More families need to come together. I truly believe the economy will get worse. Embrace family unity. ❤
This is a beautiful message for all of us. Young, old and in between. We all need to track our budget and be realistic on what we want out of life and what it will take for us to get there. And whatever decision you choose, make sure it's what works best for you and your family. Don't worry about what others may think or say because that's your life and you deserve to be comfortable, happy and at peace.
This is so beautiful and I’m so happy for you! It’s a blessing to have family in this season of life, if anyone is complaining after the way covid wiped out our finance on top of a recession they must just be crazy!
As someone in the same age bracket as you, I get it. I stayed with my sister (and her hubby and kids) for quite a few years because I was blessed enough to do so. She's also my bestie! Staying with her allowed me to save a ton of money. I live alone now, but we still hang out everyday. We're at the point now where we're trying to start a business together and all thinking about buying a house together. My brother-in-law is from West Africa and my family is from the Caribbean so to us, living together was always the norm. I say that to say that life is a journey. You just gotta figure out what works for you, where you want to go, and how you can get there.
Blessings Hannah! Nope you're NOT a failure! Its a positive move even your pups love it! Every person is in a different path, youre an outside the box thinker, people will always have an opinion, but what matters is God's plan for You're life and well being! Everything else is extra❤❤🙏🙏
There are so many alternative living arrangements. Roommates has been making a huge comeback for women with similar backgrounds coming together to save a coin!!
Hey Hannah! I’m happy you were able move in with your family. Having a bestie in your sister is so beautiful…my sister is my bestie as well. Our mental health is so important and I thank God you’re taking care of your mental & financial health. Thank you for your transparency. Oh, and Charlie does look so happy! 🐶🐾
I’m sooo proud of you! on top of that sharing this info! i’m moving back in with family as well and im 30 it’s just the best decision right now! on top of that I have 2 small boys my parents are happy to be able to see the grands daily! ❤ it’s actual a blessing you even have family to be able to go back to!
Hello Hannah. I'm excited for you on this new journey. The support of family is always a blessing. Your energy is lighter. I see it in your content and just how you speak. Much blessings on this new chapter.
And no, you ain’t giving up anything. So many people move back to move 5 steps forward. This is a very smart move on your part and it’s good on you to recognize that you needed to make a change such as this. ❤❤ 🙌 we got you here for views Hannah.
Smart decision, there’s nothing wrong with staying with your family while you get set up the way you want and I’m sure it’ll be great help to your sister as well. Everything is so expensive these days.
Oh i think it’s wonderful that you and your sister are close enough to live together. Your helpers(The two dogs) are so sweet and remind me of the brothers Frank and Frank from the Timothy Goes To School cartoon
Hannah, seeing your post is just confirmation that I “me” made the right decision to relocate back to NJ from Ga, back home 🏡 with my mom at 1st I felt as if I had failed myself being in my 50’s but the truth of the matter was my rent was increasing but the pay wasn’t. I was just barely paying my bills. So I had a long mental discussion with myself to relocate so I could get back to myself mentally, financially and spiritually. I felt as if I’d let everyone “my children “down which was not the case,.. So I’m looking at this change as SELF DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY 😊. I must have gratitude 🙏🏽 for even having a home to come back to some people are not Blessed to have that option. .. So I thank you for sharing your story with us, because there is no age limit for reinventing ourselves..Congratulations on your NEW JOURNEY 💕💕
Hey Hannah, thanks for sharing. I think you made the best decision and you have to do what’s best for you. I can see the happiness in you. God is good. I’m happy your with your family and doing well girl. And it’s awesome that you get to be around your niece more, I know she’s happy. Loved this video as usual. ❤😊Sending many blessings your way girl, everything will work out.
I know exactly how you feel Hannah. I lived on my own for 13 years. Loved having my own space but I was so sick of living in apartments. I decided to move an hour away from my job to move in with family. It's a HUGE adjustment and I do miss having my own space. But being able to live in a peaceful quiet house, no noisy neighbors stomping above my head, being closer to family, and watching my sweet neice grow up has made it all worth it. Congrats! I'm happy for you! ❤😊
Hannah you look so happy. You do what you need to do for you and your life. To be honest a lot of people will be moving back in with family sooner than later.
Hannah!!! I’ve been away for a while but back and been watching your videos first off I’m so proud of you for taking the a step of faith in doing what got want and girl I just moved in with my family for the same reasons and I’m in my 30’s so I get it do what you need and make YOU HAPPY
Hanna, thank you for your transparency. This isn't merely a setback or consequence but it's a setup for you to spring forward in your life with even greater blessings!
Best choice you’ll probably ever make. Girlfriend I moved in to my mom’s one bedroom apartment with my 10 year old. Stayed there for six months. Saved up n bought a house after only 6 months of savings. No regrets.🙌🏽
I was literally in the same boat 2 years ago! Ended up moving back in with my parents and it was definitely bittersweet after living alone for a few years. But it’s such a blessing to have family to help you through times like these ❤
I am so happy that you are loved, supported, and covered by God and family to have a life reset! When you were discussing the transition to your sister’s house, you took the words right out of my mouth when you said that among the Black community, it is taboo to live in a multigenerational home. There is nothing like being surrounded by family - whether it be biological or chosen - that will support you through different stages in life. This is not a set back, but a setup for even more greatness! Thank you for your transparency and sharing your life with us. Can’t wait to see more content from you 🫶🏽🥰.
I've used the 3rd party services through Uhaul a couple times and it was a great price for to get out and loaded. it's so true about living together as adults is in some cases "looked down on" in our communities. It can benefit everybody. I'm glad you had family nearby.
The change will be nice especially as the holiday season is approaching. It will be wonderful surrounded by family this year. It will never be a dull moment. Blessings to you.❤
I am so happy for you Hannah. Moving in with your sister's family does sound like a Win Win for you, Charlie, your niece etc. You will also have some breathing room to explore your creativity. Best wishes to you!!💜💜
God bless your sister & her husband! ❤ Update to add: the apartment and furniture aside, what about savings and saving for retirement. There is so much more you can work towards now that you will have breathing room to think and make a game plan. 🙏🏻
So happy for you Hannah, I moved back home right after college. I gave myself a year, but I ended up only needing nine months to do what I need to do and it was the best thing that I ever did.❤
Hey Hannah!! Im probably one of your older followers (age wise) 🤭but I’m being transparent here…girl I had to move in with my family in 2021 and I was 42 with 2 kids. It was the best move I ever made. I was able to save money, pay off debt, and buy my home. I just moved in my new home August 20th (my 44th bday). It’s hard out here and housing (renting and buying) is expensive. It is a true blessing that you have family that is supportive of you. I pray that you are successful in every aspect of your life that you are working on. This is a great move!!! God bless you and your family!! ❤
Hannah, I absolutely love every journey you have taken us on. I'm a 50 year old wife, mother and grandmother...and I find inspiration in all you do. This is just another chapter to be excited about. Thank you for sharing your life.❤️💕❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your transparency, Hannah. I know firsthand what this dynamic senses. Putting your happiness first is so much better for your mental health. I can't wait to see a more vibrant, energetic, healthier you. I just know the vlogs are about to turn up now😂😂😂
So interesting. I may have missed it but is this temporary or more permanent? Why buy more furniture and things when you have things in storage? Seems like excessive spending. I love shopping too but use what you have. I wouldn’t be buying furniture in someone else home and all that kitchen ware in their kitchen. I guess I don’t get since I have been on my own for so long.
Omg I needed to hear this!!!! I am 36 I have been living on my own before I was able to buy alcohol. I am considering moving back with family, but I am struggling with the thought that I am a failure if I do so. After hearing this, it is motivating me to go back home and regroup.
What a blessing! This can set you up in so many ways. I wish I had that option. Save your money, pay off debt, and prepare for the future. I see HOMEOWNER in your future! What seems like a setback for us is usually God setting us up for elevation. Great Vlog!
I love this for you. There are many distractions that try to make us feel like we should do things alone. Community is a part of living in this world. 🙏🏾
I never comment but this is amazing! My mom has been pushing me and my two children to move in with her. She even said rent free 🫶🏽 She moved to VA from NJ a few years ago and I’m not ready to make that adjustment lol. But girllll if she had a house in NJ I would pack up TOMORROW! Financial freedom is definitely the goal so don’t feel bad and the way THIS ECONOMY IS… HUNNY IM WILLING TO LIVE WITH MY MOM UNTIL I’M OLD AND GREY🤍😭
I don’t know about it being taboo for us. It’s a blessing you’re able to do that, for alot of black people this just isn’t an option. Congratulations on this chapter 👍🏾
I agree, I never knew it to be taboo in the black community either, but we do sometimes, in our minds, think things that are not true based on how we subconsciously feel. It's a blessing to have another place to call home and the only shame is in not seeing a blessing of God for what it is.

I promise, it’s going to be OK (this too shall pass)… Try to change your perspective AND use this move to your advantage! If you can (once you can), save, save, save, save.
You’ve got this! Sometimes a reset is preparing you for your next level up! Worry not baby girl! Just keep pressing on.
Definitely keep your head up. You got this.❤
Yes girl, keep moving onward and upward ❤
Keep moving forward!! You got this 😊😊
I’m a mom of 2 sons 22 and 21. I encourage each of them to stay with me as long as possible. Save money and prepare. You’re making boss moves for yourself Hannah.
Absolutely. I encourage my sons to do the same.
I love that! I’m sure they’re grateful to have a mother like you
I remember when i was younger telling my two oldest to move out and then i had to search my soul to remember how that felt when i moved out and the financial strain it created…my 3rd child just turned 18 i told her to stay as long as she needs.
I totally understand where you’re coming from. I recently sold my house because I could no longer afford It moved in with my parents. I’ll be 40 in December and I’m starting a new career. I am totally blessed that my parents are even able for me to come and live with them.
Way to go love it
Hannah, I too am 30 years old. My mom passed away in 2020, at the time I was living by myself. Fast forward to 2021 I relocated to a new state. In June of this year I was laid off. Things have been very hard financially & there are so many nights I wish that I could call my mom & move back home. When my mom was alive I ALWAYS HAD THE OPTION TO GO BACK HOME.

Sending you all the love ❤❤
It's okay to move back in with family. It's not a sign of failure. I rather be living comfortably at home with my people than be begging out here in the streets, any day.
Look at the good side you can go back with family some people can not
Facts! I’m one of them. 😢
@@ShayChris_ pray things gets better with you and your family
Brave of you to admit that adulting is hard. Even in my late 30s I see friends struggling. Housing is too expensive even with well paid jobs.
Pray for your friends. It could be you that they see struggling next
I too moved back in with my family this year. I've gone through alot of life changes this year and as you stated it is soo expensive and I honestly don't regret it.. I went from paying $1600 in rent to my stepdad allowing me to stay my first 3 months home rent free then only charging me $400 for everything excluding food. It does feel like you're giving up a piece of you but it's only temporary and it's for a greater purpose. Do what you have to do to get where you want to be ❤
That’s amazing! I’m so glad you have that support system when you needed it
This is a great way to start this good Saturday morning, got my Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee I’m ready 😂 I think you made a good move Hannah. I moved back in with my dad when I was 22 and I’m 27 now and I’m able to save so much more money, I got a new car, I help my dad with his bills and I’ve improved my credit tremendously. At this point I may not move out until I get married😂 but the cost of living these days is literally insane so I don’t blame you for leaving. Congrats on the move !
Why was I drinking my Dunkin too while watching? 😁
😂yess… DD in hand, I love it! I’m looking forward to being able to do that as well
I'm 57 and had to move in with my 30 year old daughter six years ago. Things happen and it is tough now a days. No matter what your age is or where you are in life
Girl no need to feel like a failure or lacking. There are so many blended families living together due to the economy. You are getting yourself together and if it means downsizing,it’s ok. You don’t have anything to prove to anyone. You do you and be great!
I never comment. I have to at this point. I am so proud of you. You are a strong woman. I think you made a good decision. You're doing you...
Thank you love ❤

Oh wow that's sad but yet beautiful that you were able to spend that last year at home with him.
Hannah, God is setting you up for a huge blessing. Set you a quiet time with God daily, and read his word and listen to his guidance! You just listed so many blessings in this situation. You got this!
Major props for recognizing what was best for you and acting on it. May God bless you on this new chapter 🤎

❤yes, thank you sis!
Girl I'm glad you are around family and not feeling down or alone esp if you don't have to.
In this economy I encourage anyone who can comfortably go back home or stay home to do so. It sucks to be working 2-3 jobs just to be able to live comfortably on your own.
Truly a blessing to have family to fall back on. My family is too toxic to live with.
Same
Me AND my 3 children had to move in with family last year. The divorce is almost final and we moved into our new home a week ago. It’s such a blessing to have somewhere to go when life is lifing ❤.

So true! I love that you’re leaving your door open to your family ❤
I agree, I never understood why Americans force their children to move out so young. I’m grateful for my Caribbean upbringing because they don’t want you to leave until you’re married lol you have to literally leave on your on will !
Love your transparency Hannah! 👏🏼💜 So many people today are trying to "keep up" instead of doing what's best for them economically, mentally, etc.
Yes! Thank you girlie ❤

I just want them to live peacefully with no financial stress.
Amen, we need to start a group for Mom's who want the best four children w/access to the resources to set our children up for SUCCESS!!
It's a blessing to have family who will provide support unconditionally.
I’m much older and had to do the same 30-32. I felt like I was so behind in life, after living with my parents for 2 years as an adult, I was able to purchase my own home, and eventually moved to another state. It was a time I used to recalibrate, store, save, and re-establish myself. From that I was able to take care of myself even more.

There are a lot of things within the black community that we need to sit down and discuss. Congrats to you for moving with substance!
Girl, living alone is overrated. It's great you had the experience living solo ... but there's still so much beauty in having safe family to live with.
There are people living alone because they literally have to and don't have safe family to live with.
You are blessed. CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING THIS WISE MOVE! I'm super proud of you for doing what what is right for you right now. Wishing you all the joy this season has to bring ❤
Glad you did what you had to do! It’s great that you have family support!
Girl I’m 31 and I still live with my parents. I love the transparency !
Your internet auntie here, I want to encourage you and anyone else that may read this: if you ever have to go back home, it’s not a defeat. No matter what people would have you believe. It’s a step aside to leap forward. Cause it’s no joke out here right now! I’m proud of you, niece! ❤
Hannah, it's a blessing to have family that you can turn to. It's so mature of you to recognize what's best for you and act on it. Yes, it's best to choose this route instead of creating credit card debt. May you be blessed in all that you do.
Anyone out here thinking a job is enough to live, it’s not. So many young adults are moving in with family because of this. I’m so blessed that whenever i decide to move back, I can. I know a lot of people can’t say that. Between the job market, the economy, debt, it’s ridiculous. If I could, I would move to Wales or something 😂
Congrats to you for having the courage, ability, and willingness to move in with family after being on your own. 👍🏾 Praise God for positive family relationships to be able to do so. Also, thanks for being transparent on this platform instead of like so many others who act like everything is "great" in every aspect of their lives. Many blessings to you on your future endeavors.🙏🏾♥️🦋🦋
Hannah I am happy that you are happy! S/o to your sister for being that blessing for you, being around your family will be good for you! Definitely a win/win situation, you did what was necessary for right now🙏🏽🙌🏽💪🏽
This is your slingshot! You moving back with family is to send you forward into the space you really want. Mentally and financially. I’m so proud of you for being transparent with us. I look forward to all of the content coming!!
Perfect move Hannah! We are in a recession soon to be depression. I have completed a similar move; many will. Family are coming together to cushion this bump. Thank God we have loved ones who have a tribal mindset and know what to do when to do it! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes! So true
Life has gotten so expensive where I’m to the point where I feel like I’m suffocating between rent and utilities and everything else in between it’s unbearable!
I’m so close to moving back in with my parents because they would love me to come back home. I’m so happy that you will be surrounded by love and in a secure place where you can save up to get where you need to get in life.
So many people are moving back home and I’m here for it! Here to support you through any life changes that you have or may go through.
Here’s to a new chapter for now (:
It is taboo in American culture because other cultures even African do it. I am happy that you took the steps you needed so you can thrive. I can't wait to see whats to come 💜💜💜💜💜
Multigenerational households can be so beautiful with a support system. Wishing you happiness on this new journey in your life. Xoxo.
Congratulations on your move. There is nothing wrong with moving back with family. I'm older, and lost my job in August - 5000 laid off. My lease ends in the Spring. I'll be moving in with my Daughter and Son-in-law. They asked me, and we feel it will be a win-win. More families need to come together. I truly believe the economy will get worse. Embrace family unity. ❤
I love that they extended that offer and want to have you around. That’s beautiful… like you said, nothing more important than family in these times!
This is a beautiful message for all of us. Young, old and in between. We all need to track our budget and be realistic on what we want out of life and what it will take for us to get there. And whatever decision you choose, make sure it's what works best for you and your family. Don't worry about what others may think or say because that's your life and you deserve to be comfortable, happy and at peace.
This is so beautiful and I’m so happy for you! It’s a blessing to have family in this season of life, if anyone is complaining after the way covid wiped out our finance on top of a recession they must just be crazy!
The cost of living is so high. We totally understand. Some of my friends moved with their parents, other have gotten a studio or downsized
God is good. Thank God for family. Amen!
As someone in the same age bracket as you, I get it. I stayed with my sister (and her hubby and kids) for quite a few years because I was blessed enough to do so. She's also my bestie! Staying with her allowed me to save a ton of money. I live alone now, but we still hang out everyday. We're at the point now where we're trying to start a business together and all thinking about buying a house together. My brother-in-law is from West Africa and my family is from the Caribbean so to us, living together was always the norm. I say that to say that life is a journey. You just gotta figure out what works for you, where you want to go, and how you can get there.
Well said.
Blessings Hannah! Nope you're NOT a failure! Its a positive move even your pups love it! Every person is in a different path, youre an outside the box thinker, people will always have an opinion, but what matters is God's plan for You're life and well being! Everything else is extra❤❤🙏🙏
❤thank you
Smart. My lease is up in May and I'm thinking of moving back home with my parents. It's depressing working and paying bills and not able to enjoy life
There are so many alternative living arrangements. Roommates has been making a huge comeback for women with similar backgrounds coming together to save a coin!!
Hey Hannah! I’m happy you were able move in with your family. Having a bestie in your sister is so beautiful…my sister is my bestie as well. Our mental health is so important and I thank God you’re taking care of your mental & financial health. Thank you for your transparency. Oh, and Charlie does look so happy! 🐶🐾
Having family to move in with is a blessing itself…
I’m sooo proud of you! on top of that sharing this info! i’m moving back in with family as well and im 30 it’s just the best decision right now! on top of that I have 2 small boys my parents are happy to be able to see the grands daily! ❤ it’s actual a blessing you even have family to be able to go back to!
Girl I’m 32 back with my parents and man it has helped so much stress and financial worries it’s a smart move
It’s a blessing God is “AWESOME”!!💕
Hello Hannah. I'm excited for you on this new journey. The support of family is always a blessing. Your energy is lighter. I see it in your content and just how you speak. Much blessings on this new chapter.
And no, you ain’t giving up anything. So many people move back to move 5 steps forward. This is a very smart move on your part and it’s good on you to recognize that you needed to make a change such as this. ❤❤ 🙌 we got you here for views Hannah.
Smart decision, there’s nothing wrong with staying with your family while you get set up the way you want and I’m sure it’ll be great help to your sister as well. Everything is so expensive these days.
Oh i think it’s wonderful that you and your sister are close enough to live together. Your helpers(The two dogs) are so sweet and remind me of the brothers Frank and Frank from the Timothy Goes To School cartoon
Hannah, seeing your post is just confirmation that I “me” made the right decision to relocate back to NJ from Ga, back home 🏡 with my mom at 1st I felt as if I had failed myself being in my 50’s but the truth of the matter was my rent was increasing but the pay wasn’t. I was just barely paying my bills. So I had a long mental discussion with myself to relocate so I could get back to myself mentally, financially and spiritually. I felt as if I’d let everyone “my children “down which was not the case,.. So I’m looking at this change as SELF DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY 😊. I must have gratitude 🙏🏽 for even having a home to come back to some people are not Blessed to have that option. .. So I thank you for sharing your story with us, because there is no age limit for reinventing ourselves..Congratulations on your NEW JOURNEY 💕💕
Beautiful home. I bet Charlie, is happy as hell being with his cousin ( sibling?)
his little doggi friend. 😊
Go, Charlie
Nothing wrong with starting over love. Keep shining and being the beautiful woman you are! .
Hannah I’m sorry things didn’t work out! Thank you for being honest & real. God is going to bless you. Continue being the best you can
Hey Hannah, thanks for sharing. I think you made the best decision and you have to do what’s best for you. I can see the happiness in you. God is good. I’m happy your with your family and doing well girl. And it’s awesome that you get to be around your niece more, I know she’s happy. Loved this video as usual. ❤😊Sending many blessings your way girl, everything will work out.
I know exactly how you feel Hannah. I lived on my own for 13 years. Loved having my own space but I was so sick of living in apartments. I decided to move an hour away from my job to move in with family. It's a HUGE adjustment and I do miss having my own space. But being able to live in a peaceful quiet house, no noisy neighbors stomping above my head, being closer to family, and watching my sweet neice grow up has made it all worth it. Congrats! I'm happy for you! ❤😊
Hannah you look so happy. You do what you need to do for you and your life. To be honest a lot of people will be moving back in with family sooner than later.
Hannah!!! I’ve been away for a while but back and been watching your videos first off I’m so proud of you for taking the a step of faith in doing what got want and girl I just moved in with my family for the same reasons and I’m in my 30’s so I get it do what you need and make YOU HAPPY
Hannah, thank you for vlogging and sharing during this time of transition 🙏🏾♥️
It's a blessing to be able to go to your family during your transition. There is nothing wrong with it at all, and I'm happy for you ❤
Hanna, thank you for your transparency. This isn't merely a setback or consequence but it's a setup for you to spring forward in your life with even greater blessings!
Good for you. !!!!!!!!!!!
Best choice you’ll probably ever make. Girlfriend I moved in to my mom’s one bedroom apartment with my 10 year old. Stayed there for six months. Saved up n bought a house after only 6 months of savings. No regrets.🙌🏽
This warmed my heart! I’m so happy for you, you are glowing and I can see the peaceful energy surrounding you. You made the right decision.
I was literally in the same boat 2 years ago! Ended up moving back in with my parents and it was definitely bittersweet after living alone for a few years. But it’s such a blessing to have family to help you through times like these ❤
I am so happy that you are loved, supported, and covered by God and family to have a life reset! When you were discussing the transition to your sister’s house, you took the words right out of my mouth when you said that among the Black community, it is taboo to live in a multigenerational home. There is nothing like being surrounded by family - whether it be biological or chosen - that will support you through different stages in life. This is not a set back, but a setup for even more greatness! Thank you for your transparency and sharing your life with us. Can’t wait to see more content from you 🫶🏽🥰.
That lighting in front of your desk is AMAZING!
I’m happy for you and your family sweetheart ❤. That’s a beautiful blessing. Congratulations enjoy being with family 🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽♥️.
Phone in hand. Perfect timing ❤
I've used the 3rd party services through Uhaul a couple times and it was a great price for to get out and loaded. it's so true about living together as adults is in some cases "looked down on" in our communities. It can benefit everybody. I'm glad you had family nearby.
The change will be nice especially as the holiday season is approaching. It will be wonderful surrounded by family this year. It will never be a dull moment. Blessings to you.❤
What a blessing to have that option and to have more time with family.
I am so happy for you Hannah. Moving in with your sister's family does sound like a Win Win for you, Charlie, your niece etc. You will also have some breathing room to explore your creativity. Best wishes to you!!💜💜
God bless your sister & her husband! ❤ Update to add: the apartment and furniture aside, what about savings and saving for retirement. There is so much more you can work towards now that you will have breathing room to think and make a game plan. 🙏🏻
Awwww Charlie’s twin!!
So happy for you Hannah, I moved back home right after college. I gave myself a year, but I ended up only needing nine months to do what I need to do and it was the best thing that I ever did.❤
I LOVE this for you - i’m 22 and own my own home. if i didn’t own my home, i would have been moved back in with my mom months ago haha.
Yes sis ❤ agreed with everything you said in this video!
Hey Hannah!! Im probably one of your older followers (age wise) 🤭but I’m being transparent here…girl I had to move in with my family in 2021 and I was 42 with 2 kids. It was the best move I ever made. I was able to save money, pay off debt, and buy my home. I just moved in my new home August 20th (my 44th bday). It’s hard out here and housing (renting and buying) is expensive. It is a true blessing that you have family that is supportive of you. I pray that you are successful in every aspect of your life that you are working on. This is a great move!!! God bless you and your family!! ❤
Hannah, I absolutely love every journey you have taken us on. I'm a 50 year old wife, mother and grandmother...and I find inspiration in all you do. This is just another chapter to be excited about. Thank you for sharing your life.❤️💕❤️❤️❤️
I feel the same. I am 47 and I think she made a perfect decision. Very inspirational and I’m glad she shared it with us❤.
Thank you for your transparency, Hannah. I know firsthand what this dynamic senses. Putting your happiness first is so much better for your mental health. I can't wait to see a more vibrant, energetic, healthier you. I just know the vlogs are about to turn up now😂😂😂
So interesting. I may have missed it but is this temporary or more permanent? Why buy more furniture and things when you have things in storage? Seems like excessive spending. I love shopping too but use what you have. I wouldn’t be buying furniture in someone else home and all that kitchen ware in their kitchen. I guess I don’t get since I have been on my own for so long.
Omg I needed to hear this!!!! I am 36 I have been living on my own before I was able to buy alcohol. I am considering moving back with family, but I am struggling with the thought that I am a failure if I do so. After hearing this, it is motivating me to go back home and regroup.
What a blessing! This can set you up in so many ways. I wish I had that option. Save your money, pay off debt, and prepare for the future. I see HOMEOWNER in your future! What seems like a setback for us is usually God setting us up for elevation. Great Vlog!
You did the right thing leaving 👏 that toxic work place it was just going to get worse. Trust that, glad you had family to turn to.
I love this for you. There are many distractions that try to make us feel like we should do things alone. Community is a part of living in this world. 🙏🏾
Very smart move Hannah! Good Luck👍🖤🎄
Congratulations Hannah 🎊 you did the right thing 😊 Happy Holidays to you and your family ❤
I never comment but this is amazing! My mom has been pushing me and my two children to move in with her. She even said rent free 🫶🏽 She moved to VA from NJ a few years ago and I’m not ready to make that adjustment lol. But girllll if she had a house in NJ I would pack up TOMORROW! Financial freedom is definitely the goal so don’t feel bad and the way THIS ECONOMY IS… HUNNY IM WILLING TO LIVE WITH MY MOM UNTIL I’M OLD AND GREY🤍😭
I'm happy that you have a supportive family. Thank you for being honest with us. You didn't have too but you did. We ❤❤❤ you Hannah!!!
