<prompt> Human: So as title says, Im 28 yrs old and was commuting to work from my parents so there was no need to rent. After the company gave me a promotion 7K it essentially forced me to move to another state 1.5 hrs away. My wife had to quit her nursing job and is now finding another. A couple months into this and now Im starting to feel homesick and wasting away money on rent. we were looking for houses to buy before Now Im thinking to find another job with the same pay and move back in with my parents. They dont mind me moving back in and would prefer me to be closer anyways. Or at least, find a place nearby to rent before we buy nearby. It would be financially better right?  <response>: Important detail: How does your wife feel about moving back? I know this has nothing to do with financial advice, but you can like your in-laws but still want to live in your own place. In my experience, I had a great relationship with my in-laws, but this was based on the fact that if we didnt agree on something, it was easy to politely agree to disagree and do what I thought was right in my own home. Living with your parents as an adult or in-laws can lead to unnecessary problems that might also be a problem in your marriage in the long run. Also, has your wife already found a new job? She might not be super thrilled to change her work place again.
