Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?
I don't even know what to say right now. We told the in laws that we are going to buy a house and now they decided they are going to be house shopping too. I don't mind that they are moving per se, but they are always saying how they don't have enough money to make it through the month at this house, then they want to buy something more expensive. I just get so frustrated because they can't handle money at all.
I feel so bad for my bil too, because they want to move right before his senior year. And they want to recommend their realtor to me, who suggested they buy a sh!tty house they couldn't afford in the first place. Just really not happy. Thanks for letting me vent.
Edit: I really do feel a lot better, which I needed to do to make it through dinner with them.
Re: Are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?
Wow, that's crazy. Have they been thinking of moving or is are they just now saying they want a new house because you two are moving? It sounds pretty silly and childish to me. How are they going to get approved for a house if they are so bad with their bills? Also will they have anything for a down payment?
Do you live with them? I thought you lived with your parents.
Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.
No, we do live with my parents. I have no idea if they will get approved. I mean they aren't bad, but they really don't need to move. Just like my MIL doesn't really NEED new towels and dishes. But last month they couldn't go out to dinner with us because they were "tight" for the month. and besides the equity for their current house, I am pretty sure they don't have a down payment for the house they want to buy.
I think that they may have been thinking about it, but waited until now to tell us. Just felt a bit like stealing my thunder.
I think the worst part is my BIL. They tried to talk to him about it, and of course he is against it, but MIL said to him that this might be what is best for their retirement. Really the best thing for their retirement would be to not add another mortgage. But that is just my opinion I guess.
Yikes! Maybe they'll change their minds about moving once they see the numbers.
My mom is a bit like this. When I bought my car over 4 years ago she had to go get a car too. Her's was perfectly fine. Now this year my sister got a car and guess who had to go get another car and sell her old one. Yup. My parents aren't great at managing their money either.
