[quote=Anonymous]My dh and I have recently started visiting a financial advisor to organize retirement and college goals and we both realized we need to decide if we will be making our house our long term home (meaning we will raise our kids here) or if within the next 5 years we want to upgrade to a bigger house.  We have 2 kids ages 2 and 4 and are done having children. We currently live in a 1200 sq foot home but the neighborhood is ideal, and the location serves us perfectly in terms of employment and schooling options. I am inclined to plan on staying here and focus that money into other areas but many people have assured me we will eventually need more space.  Kids start socializing more and the need to sprawl will come up quick.  We only have one full bath and a non finished basement, but down the line we could finish the basement and add another full bath. I grew up in NYC and living in this amount of space is totally fine and practical to me, but DH isn't so sure, and the majority of people we have casually polled seem to agree with DH. Anyone stay in a small home and raise their kids without regrets or do didnyou end up moving when the kids got older? Obviously this is a first world problem and I hope I don't come off snotty, just genuinely curious what peoples opinions are on this issue. For what it's worth if we did eventually move it would be to a house 2000 sq, so it's not like stay here or build a 4500 sq foot house.  Thanks![/quote]
