Hi, Hopefully someone could help me.
We have about £20k in debt which includes £12k in credit card and £8k in loans from friends or and a £6000 bank loan! .. we are just about paying the credit cards off each month and we both work and we have about £1000 a month for food etc.. I have said lets not spend £1000 lets save £500 a month but she dont like that and I need to pay the 8k back from friends in jan 2018 or near that date. The cards are on 3% balance transfer and end jan. march and july 08 (I can move them about to continue not to pay much interest)
We have the house on the market for about £450k and I have said once we sell im buying a smaller house and she can buy a smaller house because I cant deal with her and the way she is with money! I will rent my house out and live in her house. and give her 50% of the rent and we pay £250 a month morgage (very cheap as we only owe 50k) and we have a buyer but the buyer needs to sell there house. Selling the house would mean all debts paid back! So im forward thinking about this and want to rent part of the house out. We have a 5 bedroom house that 3 of the rooms could be used. yes its not ideal but it would give about £1500 a month in extra income. However the wife is doing as much as she can not to do this. agreeing to rent a room to a couple for £650 then making it as hard as I can to do it.
Personally, I dont care. I feel that the money we owe needs to be repaid. If it means 12 months of having a house with people in then so be it. She would rather use a room for her clothes then to rent it for £400 a month. The house is Just me, her and a 9 year old child.
What do you think about it? even renting one room to a couple for £650 would mean not selling the house and just use to repay.. will take longer but I can do 3% balance transfer on credit cards etc....
