<prompt> Human: My wife and I live in New York City, rent is 2,500 per month and just about every expense is inflated. Were both around 30 years old, no kids. Saving has been a bit difficult since I started a business a year ago and revenues only begun to generate a few months ago starting in October. But weve been presented with an opportunity to save roughly 30k for 2017...My parents own a mother-daughter style home, theres essentially a second unit next door with its own private entrance, living space, and kitchen. Theyve offered to let us live there rent free which would free up 30k after factoring in the expense reductions and any new additional expenses. It sounds great and I love the idea about having nearly double the living space and being able to stash away the cash, but I still feel like were moving home and taking a step back. The thought of having to tell people also doesnt sit well, which I know is just my ego talking.What would you do? Would you bite the bullet for a year in order to save a good amount of cash which could potentially be used for a down payment on a house? Or do you feel the move would be an abrupt change and not worth the benefit of saving 30k?  <response>: Move home and save cash. Just look at it as a being paid 30K to do so. This is a hand up, not a hand down. Id jump at the chance if your relationship is good with family.
