Can't Agree on a House
To make a long story short, we were renting our condo which was 10 minutes from my work when the complex sold it last month. We had to move with 30 days notice. Luckily my in laws go to Florida for a few months in the winter and we're staying there. They'll be back late next month so we have until late March to move out of here. Their house is 30 minutes from my work and the commute isn't fun. I tutor a my friend's child for extra money two nights a week for 1 1/2 hours each night. Since moving, I have had to stay at work(I teach) an hour after school and don't end up arriving home until after 7pm. This makes for a really long day. I found an adorable house that is 15 minutes from work and 2 minutes away from the child I tutor so I'd be able to come home, see my husband, maybe do a load of laundry, etc before leaving to tutor at 5pm. The only downfall about the house is that the yard is partially fenced and that's what's holding my husband back. He works from home and would rather move to a house his friend owns and rents out but it's 30 minutes from work for me and I wouldn't be able to come home between work and tutoring. I feel like since I work outside the home, I should get more "say so" in the area where we live. He just doesn't understand that this commute and long days are killing me. I need advice on what to do.
Re: Can't Agree on a House
Assuming neighborhoods are relatively similar, I would buy the house close to your work and put in a fence. Commute time is huge, that is why we ended up moving.
However if you aren't ready to buy that could just lead to a lot of headaches and make you wish you had rented from the friend.
