[quote=Anonymous]They are being extremely generous. They know you won’t stay without the financial assistance so they are offering it. It’s your choice if you take it. It sounds like you want to live above your means but how you accomplish that is solely up to you. I would never have expected my parents to purchase a house or give us a huge down payment but my parents surprised us by helping us with a small one when they wanted us to move nearby. The house was a bit above our price range and they thought it would be a better ROI and better schools. The house was nowhere near as big and nice as where we wanted to live a few miles north. In the end, DH and I weighed the options and bought the small better located house. It never occurred to me to ask for the same gift to buy in the new development further out. It was their money and it wouldn’t have felt right. I have never loved this house but I also have never resented them for the strings attached. They owed us zip. [/quote]
