I wish I had a job because my lease is almost up where I am now and my SO's sister decided that she'll let us rent her place and honestly I don't want to. It's too far away from everything, there's no service out there, and I just wouldn't feel comfortable. I feel like I don't really have a say cause I don't work. Like if I was bringing in income my opinion would matter more. And I feel like it would be more money for utilities than to just rent an apartment. Am I wrong?
@qwiona, well the best way to build credit is to get a credit card and only put things on there that you can turn right around and pay for or even a small bill on auto pay! I have a ridiculous high score and that's how I started when I was 18.
@beccaaalynnn11 lol there no safe CHEAP apartments, the cheap apartments are in bad areas and we've already put that out of mind. And I have no problem with my sister and her husband, they mind their business and stay in their lane. That's why I have no problem moving in with them. If they were anything but I'd have a problem
- I would just get your own place. I know you want to save money, so rent a SAFE cheap appartment. Personally I hate living with people. Especially family. Because I love them and don’t feel right getting angry because they do whatever.
@chelseaz yeah we'll definitely have a lease if we do decide, we're going to discuss everything tonight. Hopefully I get a say in what we do
@qwiona, yeah you don’t need unexpected visitors walking in at random or someone trying to say you damaged this or damaged that...I’ve seen this situation go down with my family and it tore up relationships (no lease was involved).
@chelseaz that's why I'm a bit uncomfortable. His sister and her husband are kind of irresponsible so I'm scared of what we'd be getting ourselves into
@beccaaalynnn11 yeah I told him and he said he always has to go along with what I say and I said no you don't, I just wouldn't feel comfortable, it's really everyone who is working that needs to make the decision. My sister is on the fence and she hasn't talked to her husband yet. He got mad and said he had to go.
I really don't feel comfortable because I know his sister and her husband are a bit irresponsible so I'm scared of what we'll be taking on exactly
I definitely wouldn’t move somewhere that will make you uncomfortable. I agree with everyone else - your opinion should still matter even if you don’t have income.
On another note, if you do move in your SO’s sisters house, I recommend still having an actual lease both parties sign and such. I know it’s family and I’m saying this because it’s family.
@beccaaalynnn11 he's always wanted a house but I keep trying to tell him like we can get our own once we boost our credit. That's why we're trying to move with my sister and her husband to cut expenses so we can all save more. And I just don't feel good about renting his sister's house.
@fakoffyeh @masseymomma16 I just feel that way personally. Like we're going to try to move with my sister and her husband so we can cut expenses and everyone can build their credit. All of them work, I'm the only one that doesn't so I feel like they have more of a say than I do. I can definitely get my SO to say no to moving in there but would everyone else be mad at me for doing so? Like I don't want to be that person
- Your opinion matters just as much if not more. You’ll the one who will always be home.. you need to feel comfortable in your home. Talk to your partner.
@masseymomma16 but my credit score isn't good enough to even get a credit card nor do I have a cosigner that would allow me to get one
