This is entirely based on my personal life nothing to do with my salon although I do work from home which is a huge benefit and part of the rent also covers my salon rent I guess.
Anyway its quite a long winded story but I really don't have many friends and family to talk to so it would be great to get your advice what would you do if you are in my situation?
Me and hubby moved into his dads empty house about 5 years ago now we intend to take over the mortgage and the house will be ours as it will also be his hubby's inheritance. The amount we pay for it is less than market value we do get a bigger house, however I work and run my business and have a young boy and I just can't clean this house. I also can't keep up with paying for things that are breaking on the house as it's a very old house we need very expensive things now. I'm trying to make do without a car & dishwasher all the things that help when you're busy working mum, just to pay for things to be fixed when they break in this house.
I have nothing written contract that this will ever be my house but how can you possibly ask your father-in-law to do such a thing when we are actually not that close. Sometimes I wonder am I just paying the rent (I pay the rent he pays the home bills) for him to keep his house? what if I break up with Hubby I don't see this being very safe for myself financially at all! sometimes I feel like a mug. I don't even like the house bit
Grateful for a roof over my head it's just not what I'd choose and very hard work. however the promise of been mortgage free in 10 years sounds amazing!
About that 10 years. It was supposed to be 10 years five years ago. However I asked to spend a couple of weeks ago and he said yes in about 10 to 15 years we will be mortgage free. To which we ended up having an argument because I said five years ago it was 10 years how has it gone up? It's really got me thinking :/
