We are currently living in a government assisted apartment with 3 bedrooms 1 bath central heat and air, and new windows. The rooms are very small and with 2 daughters (14 and 7) we are very cramped. I recently found a brick house for rent in an area where I have been really wanting to move to. It is very close to both my mother and our church. The school district is the same but just a different school. My oldest daughter will be starting high school next year and the high school is the same. My youngest daughter will have to change schools, but she really wants to anyway. The girls and I looked at the house and fell in LOVE with it and desperately want to move there. It is a 2 bedroom 1 bath country house with a big kitchen, bigger bedrooms big living room and a den (that we can use as master bedroom) Utility room a big yard, barn for kids to play in a carport and an additional 2 car barn, pets are allowed has a range celling fans in every room and a trampoline that stays with house. Only hang-ups are electric wall heaters and old but sturdy windows. The big hang-up is that my husband does not like to pay RENT, He would rather make a house payment so we could own a house instead of paying to live in someone else's house. But if they decide to sell we will have 1st option to buy. Well he says we can't afford it anyway the rent is $400 a month (which I believe is really great.) like I said right now we live in a government assisted apartment,no pets, no place for girls to play, their bikes got stolen, have to pay to do laundry($60 a month) have electric and gas bills and $144 rent verses $400 a month rent just electric bill and our own washer and dryer. He is disabled and receives $710 a month we get food stamps and I am working for his mother at her cake shop.My feeling is that we can't afford not to move.

Answer
Your husband according to your previous question from 6 months ago is very overweight and does nothing all day but eat. You mean to say this man who gets free food, free disability, free rent has an issue about throwing away money on rent? No way your family is purchasing a home anytime soon. Not with a man who doesn't work because of a disability caused by his own lack of control. I don't mean to sound cynical but, I don't see how he has any place making a fuss about paying rent when you guys barely pay anything right now, thanks to your fellow tax payers.

If buying a home is a priority for him, he needs to do something about his health and get your entire family off all forms of public assistance. Since that is not happening anytime soon, I would say rent the home. They don't give mortgages to people who don't have a down payment saved up. And he cannot have a big savings account if he wants to keep his disability check.

Is there any sort of baby/kid carrier that would work for an electric scooter?

I cant get a car (no money) and my bike is making me so sore i can hardly pick my daughter up. I was looking into buying an electric scooter and was then wondering how am i going to transport her in it.
I need something motorized that does not need a license, and runs on the sidewalk.
