hi, just joined after lurking for the past few days. alot of the information is whoosh over my head, i'm not at all business or financially minded but i'm hoping that will change soon. i'm a 27 year old student living with my partner in an ex council property which he bought 9 years ago. we're desperate to move from this area, but can't afford to at the moment, if we sell now we should make around 30k. we have no savings but we've recently stopped smoking, partying and generally decided to grow up a bit and we reckon we could save a good amount in three years. would be great to hear if anyone has any ideas about renting, which, incidently would cost more than what we pay for our mortgage! also my parents have offered to put us up rent free for a year, but is it worth the arguing? hope i haven't waffled too much!
