You're buying a house. Today you paid part of the money for the house. You'll pay the rest with a loan from a bank. You're excited, so you write a message to your friends on Facebook about it:
We made a down payment on a house today!
You own a house. You've had to spend a lot of time and money on repairs, taxes, and your mortgage. Now you'd rather rent an apartment instead. You're complaining about this to a friend. You say:
Home ownership is more trouble than it's worth.

You've been trying to sell your house for the past 11 months. You're frustrated about it. Now you're talking to your friend about this problem. You say:
It's been on the market for nearly a year now, but we still have nothing to show for it.

You've quit your job. You're talking about it with a friend, who's worried about you. But you're not worried. You explain why:
Worst case scenario, I can always move back in with my folks.
The "worst case scenario" is the worst result that could happen in a situation. Use this phrase for talking about the possible negative consequences of something.
In spoken English, people often use "worst case scenario" like it's used in the example above:
Worst case scenario, we'll borrow some money from our savings account.
Worst case scenario, we'll lose maybe 5 or 6 hours of productive time.
But the more formally correct way to use it is this:
The worst case scenario is that we may lose five or six hours of productive time.
People actually often talk about the "worst case scenario" to make something seem safe. If you say that the "worst case scenario" is something that isn't really that bad, then it makes your decisions or actions seem OK. For example, moving back in with your parents isn't too bad, so it makes it seem OK that the speaker lost his job.
When you're talking about a decision or a suggestion, the phrase "you can always ___" describes one possible choice. It's usually a choice that you're trying to avoid, but that you can take if you need to:
If we can't find one here, we can always order one online.
After children grow up, they move out of their parents' house and live with roommates or on their own. If a person starts living with his or her parents again after moving out, it's called "moving back in with your parents".
"My folks" can mean your parents (although it can also mean a larger group of family members or even friends). This is a more casual way to talk about your parents.
house, job, parents, worst case You and your family are planning to move to another city in 2 months. You haven't fully planned how you're going to move all your stuff yet, but you have an idea. While you're having dinner with your wife, you brought up the topic of the move. Now you make your suggestion:
What if we rented a moving van instead of hiring someone?

Would it be OK if I work from home today?
