I think so, yes.

Maybe let him know that you think it's a good idea but just not at the present moment because his job is a temp job.

I did say that. (I hope he heard me.) I even suggested he start looking for an apartment now, with the proviso that he not sign a lease until they've offered to make his job permanent. That way he can have some real numbers to work with for his budget. Rent. Estimated utilities. And so on.

My husband's uncle is having this problem. He is living with us now, trying to get back on his feet. He had a job and it was going well, he was almost to his 90 days, but he was a temp and they decided the job ended and not keep him on. Now he's back to square one and having trouble finding another job.

My fear exactly. If his job doesn't go permanent at least he won't be obligated on a lease. He kept saying there are no guarantees in life. He could lose the job in 6 months anyway. True, but a temporary job is riskier than a permanent one.

So, anyway, maybe he can set a goal. Like if he holds his job for 6 months, start looking. In the mean-time keep saving money for the move. Since his credit is bad maybe try to build up 2-3 months rent to offer up front. (That's what we're doing.)

I agree. Six months sounds great to me. Why is he in such an all-fired hurry?
