<prompt> Human: I used to make a decent income working at a mine. So, seeing as I was engaged and had about 30,000 in savings, I decided to build a house with my fiance.Fast forward about a year later, I was made redundant by my company. Since then Ive had my wedding, and Ive been struggling to find work beyond a few hours a week at a local Dominos.My parents have offered to pay 3500 to help finish the flooring and fencing, no strings attached. And then possibly pay the 1080 dollars a month mortgage until we can pay it ourselves.My parents have always made a good income not mega rich but pretty well-off. That said, theyve never offered handouts. I dont know if I should take this now. Its a gift, not a loan. But part of me feels its up to my wife and I to succeed or fail on our own. Maybe thats just pride talking. Maybe my parents just want us to stop living with them, as we have been for awhile now.Our situation isnt 100 dire yet, but unless we start earning some solid income it will be. Ive been trying very hard to get a new job but it still hasnt happened. If we dont take their money our only alternative is to try to finish the house any way we can and then put it up for sale.What do you think we should do?  <response>: thats just pride taking. but take it as a loan, even if you dont tell your parents you feel that way and even if its lowno interest. I think you should put the house up for sale regardless since you clearly cant really afford it.
