of the company he was working for. they were going to wait a year or so and then buy another house. Two weeks later the company got delisted and they lost almost everything. Usually, it's best not to try to get too cute with money.

Why do people think it's a good idea to move in with their parents or in-laws?

It is a terrible idea and causes lots of problems for both parents and families

Just buy a house you want to live in at a price you can afford and live in it
