Whole experience depends massively on the landlord type. Live-in landlord means cheaper sometimes but more rules and less privacy. Fully ten…
Lived with in-laws for 3 years waiting for our flat, so I've been in the trenches. What kept the peace: first, your husband must be the one …
The single most important thing: the boundary must come from your husband, not you. If you push back on his mother directly, you become the …

I did the math on my own career and hopping won, but with a big caveat. Over 8 years I switched three times and went from 4.2k to 11k a mont…
