Am 28, moved back in with parents after 5 years at Uni, stayed there for 2.5 years enjoying nice cheap rent (£100 a month, everything included), but then when I got my new job in December last year, I decided a 65-mile-each-way trip to work was a little on the expensive side.

So, am now renting a house until I can pay two loans and two credit cards off, and then look at getting a mortgage to buy my own place. It's more expensive than living at home, but the freedom is great.
