My wife and did the same thing last year; we're both in our thirties. We moved in with my mom in order to save money for a down-payment on a new house. We both worked our tails off, saved the needed cash in 4 months, and then moved out. We're an easy-going bunch, but those were a challenging four months. I want to believe that our problems had cultural causes-- that we would have been less tense if we were a bunch of Italians who had grown up living with extended family. I'd like that. If you can do it without incurring too much friction between family members, then I heartily recommend it. There's simply no other way to save so much money in so little time.
