It’s a VBA. There is nothing humble about it.

? Visual Basic?

What is “VBA”?

Here's what google AI tells me:

Veiled Brag Alert (VBA): This is a casual internet acronym, primarily used on social media platforms like Reddit, to point out a post where someone is subtly bragging about themselves or something in their life (e.g., "Veiled Brag Alert = common abbreviation").

This. Wait to make a move. You have no idea if your kids will end up back with you given the terrible job market. I did downsize and regret it.

Yeah, don’t move. My parents home in the Bay Area was beautiful and big for the area (4k). It was lovely to visit with our kids when they were little. Beautiful memories. It wouldn’t have made sense for them to them to downsize. My mom actually lived there til the end and we had room for a nurse. Dad moved overseas where we had another home after she passed to better afford live in care.
