A polyamorous mum who lives with her husband AND boyfriend says inviting a third person into the relationship was the "only way" they could afford to buy a house.
Jennifer Martin, 36, and her husband Daniel, 36, had previously struggled with their finances and had $50,000 of student debt between them.
The couple - who have two children together aged 11 and 13 - decided to try polyamory nine years ago.
Jennifer began dating Ty Simpson, 34, a process manager at a bank, six years ago and the family all moved in to a rented a house together initially.
They couldn't be happier and Jennifer says they decided to pool their finances which finally enabled them to buy a four-bedroom, three-bathroom house for $325k.

00:47Now we don't have money from our parents, I think we, I have what we, I would call normal
00:53jobs and you know, it's been tough for millennials, like I've been subjected to the worst of capitalism,
00:59but polyamory is what offered a solution to that and made us able to purchase a home.
01:08And anyway, I must, I know polyamory is not for everybody, but I'm a strong believer in
01:14communalism.
01:29I'm a believer in communalism.
