Your roller coaster analogy is SO on point! I'm so glad you were able to accept Matt's parents' generosity, and are going to be able to make the next place your own! Congratulations!!!

As a mom and grandmother and MIL, I would totally buy a house for my adult kids and their spouses, if I had the money. And they know it. So I am glad that you were able to accept your in-laws' offer, and that you have a house. I hope that your move goes as smoothly as possible, and you know better than I about how badly moves can go! BTW, my best friend inherited her mom's house (only child), but she had a house, so her son and his family live in Nonny's house, and actually pay her rent. But she is banking the rent, and when she passes, her son gets the house AND the rent plus interest, she has saved. Her daughter and spouse and 4 kids live with her, and they will inherit that house. Families take care of each other.

It's a mark of your integrity that you recognize the privledge they are offering you. In return you are giving them, the great gift of allowing them to help in making sure you're safe, happy and have a bright future. It's a hard thing to curb your independence but a much easier thing to acceot love. -Perspective of a 70 year old.

My parents signed for my first house with me when I was 25, and a newly solo mum with 3 kids. I had a good job and income and a bit of money, but because I was on my own the banks wouldn't touch me, and because I was a mum on my own in the rental market of those times no one would rent to me. So my folks helped me buy a house. Fast forward 5 years, and my folks and I both sold our properties and bought a place together. Bigger property, a little ways out of the city, with two houses on it, one for me and my kids (bigger, as my first home was little) and a nice little place for my parents, who were ready to downsize. It's worked out brilliantly. Now, another 8 years on, I am re-married and have had 2 more kids, my big house fits us all in and I have been able to support my parents as my mum's health gradually declines. I have full intentions of supporting my kids in the same way as the housing market here (New Zealand) is also pretty atrocious.

They really need to start making more protective laws where things like this require at least 6 months notice especially with the housing crisis on the rise...

This is my current worst fear and I'm so sorry you're going through it. We've lived in our rental house for 8 years and know that our landlord can sell it at any time, especially since its value has tripled in that time. We were looking to buy a house in early 2020, but decided to save for another year and then the pandemic happened and property values more than doubled and we've been priced out of all of the local areas. 😱

Congratulations! Also, I hope you can feel good about Matt's parents doing this. My grandparents did this for their daughter (my aunt). Thirty years later when they had died, she inherited her house and my dad inherited my grandparents' house (almost same value). In effect, my aunt received her inheritance early. I don't think parents should prevent their grown children from working and having purpose in life but also think it makes a lot of sense to not always wait until death for grown children to benefit from their future inheritance. You and Matt both have careers. You're in a start-up, so to speak, and new businesses usually have backers to help them get started. I work in a little private school that I love, but no one can really afford to work there who doesn't have a spouse supporting them and putting money away for both their retirements. Anyway, congratulations again on your offer being accepted. Fingers crossed that everything goes through. Thanks for your honesty about your process. It's what makes your channel so great. The shot of you face down on the floor was priceless.

My husband died, and I lived in 4 houses in the first 3 years after his death. My parents got tired of moving me.... They bought me a home... Be kind, his parents evidently love you both, and want to solve this problem.... So, be grateful for their love... and enjoy your new home....as long as they allow you to pick it out....

[Kera.S.]

I totally understand your situation, literally, in the same situation. I found a hoodie the other day you will appreciate... it said, "A MIXTURE OF SPOILED AND I'LL GET IT MY DAMN SELF" 😂😂 (my in laws live in Santa Barbara)

[lauraviniconis]

I totally understand what you feel about accepting such an offer. During college I worked and went to school full time, accepting anything would mean I couldn't do it. Your personal convictions are for self sufficiency and not everyone has those same convictions (and that's ok!), so others might not see the big deal. But it feels like you've failed in your personal convictions when accepting a generous gift. It's hard to remember that it's not a failure to accept help sometimes <3
And holy cow, that fireplace?! There are so many beautiful houses out there!

[joclark]

It is hard to accept help sometimes, but it's a sign of maturity to be able to do it. Goid luck with the new house!!!

[rachel.the.riveter]

Oh my gosh, I understand the struggle. I'm proud of you for taking the step even with how hard it is.

[Julz]

Hurray! I'm glad you decided to accept your in-laws' generosity! Best of luck in your home hunting.

[PreciousMe]

Well, that was a kick in the gut! But so, so happy that you could accept Matt's parent's generous offer and found a house!! No more moving after this one. Can't wait to see the move and the new place and watch you settle in. And bring on the projects! Big Hugs and Congrats!

[paigecm]

i am glad you are coming to peace with this choice... as a girl who like you, i was fiercely proud and independent until i was i forced otherwise due to life - it took me a long time (too long) to realize - oooh i paid my dues for 2 decades working harder than anyone i knew, that it is ok my health slowed me down and forced me to accept help - that it wasn't a failure of me, but the universe's way of balancing out my whole life by swinging the pendulum the full other way before settling in the middle - if that makes some sense - and i promise you will realize in hindsight that this gift of a home came to you BECAUSE of all your hard work not despite it 😊 congratulations!!

[JenniLevenbook]

As someone who is considering renting out my house while I am temporarily elsewhere. Your story underscores my conviction that I will be fully transparent with any tenants about the limits of their rental period from the start. I am so sorry that you experienced such short notice.

Unrelated, so glad to see the cherry fabric blouse actually being worn!

[LittleDizzyGirl]

That really sucks. We just bought a house and my husband got laid off. It's been a struggle to afford, but I'm grateful we have the house, and aren't going to have to worry about getting kicked out like this. Hope we can all get off this rollercoaster soon

[nataliestanchevski]

Congratulations on your new home!!! I'm writing this while waiting to hear back from my real estate agent regarding the bid we made on a house. Our third choice didn't work out because the sellers wanted a 90 day closing which would mean that we and all our stuff would be homeless for 2 months (we've already sold our home). Our second choice didn't work out because we found out it was the scene of a double homicide. First choice turned out to be completely riddled with carpenter ants. Needless to say that I've booked several more showings for this weekend just in case this fourth choice results in a bidding war that we can't win because the housing market in Toronto is insane. I wish you many many many years of stability and happiness in your new home. And cross your fingers for me! 😁

Thank you for your honesty, I am now a new subscriber and I cannot believe I have found you with this video, I was also very independent and my in laws have also bought our house for us, it is not easy to get over, I am 2 years in and still feel like I am a renter. I hope your adventure works out for you.
I am also in the same position where my husband is very supportive with my art and me being an artist, how do we find gratitude and balance in ourselves?
I will be keeping an eye on how you make the best of this situation as it is very comforting to know you are out there, and making content and sharing the real side of life with absolute strangers helping to give people like me strength knowing I am not alone in these types of adventures.
Thank you again for sharing. ❤

My husband and I had to pick a house to buy in another state in 3 days (his company would pay for ONE house-hunting trip....and we couldn't afford to pay for any!). Pro tip: choose a name/label for each house. Take pictures and of things you like and don't like for each house WHILE YOU ARE THERE. Trust me, when you see that many in a day they all run together and you can't keep them straight. Praying you find a good fit for you!
