Multi-generational living
March 1, 2019
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY,-and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money
M A growing trend in housing is multi-generational living. One quarter lived with three or more in 1940. That declined to 12 % in 1980. 2016 showed that trend growing again
Reasons: saving money for a home down-payment, marital upheaval, launching on ones own, assistance as parents age, job uncertainties in your location.
V Mom, you’ve experienced that since Dad went to Heaven. Three of your four children have moved back ‘for a season.’ Advantage two families in one place, one price. Advice, talk early and often rather than reacting to a crisis. And actually save that money.
M I can promise that EVERYONE will need to compromise. Grace and mercy, new and needed every day.
