Don't know the state of your finances, but [b]saving 20K in these cirucmstances is so not worth it![/b]

I've done this with my parents, except that we lasted 2 months in their apartment and had to move earlier than planned because we just could not get along.

For me the deal-breaker is the dog's behavior. The smoker's clothes, the cooking thing, etc are all uncomfortable but don't rise to the level of perpetual face-slurping on a baby.

So draw boundaries now and put your foot down.[/quote]

You are lucky money is not an issue is all I can say to this...20k used to be almost an entire year income for us at one point. I would have taken 4 months with my ILs without a second thought then. And now 20k is still a huge amount of money...4 months with the ILs to save 20k is WELL worth it to me and I am sure my DH would agree.[/quote]

PP you responded to. Perhaps your ILs aren't that bad, then. I've been there too, finance-wise. We were living with my parents because DH was unemployed. After 2 months we scraped the bottom of the barrel to live in a ONE bedroom, all four of us, in an iffy neighborhood, because that's how much my mother was crazy-making! I understand if OP simply cannot afford any other option. We thought we had none either! 
We're not rich, but you couldn't pay me 20K to live with my mother ever again.
