[quote=Anonymous]Can you downsize **within** your current house, at least while your kids are in college? Live within it like it's a two bedroom condo; close off doors to all the excess rooms; get rid of all the stuff you would get rid of if you were moving into a condo. Then you'll be ready to make an easy transition into the condo of your dreams once they're stable? (And, to speak from personal experience, my mom moved after my first year of college, and I hated it. I was super jealous that all my friends were going home to houses where they had bedrooms, and where their friends were still in the neighborhood, while I was going "home" to a little apartment, where I didn't have my own space, and I didn't know the neighborhood. I don't fault my mom at all--she was stuck with some bad life circumstances. But if you have the choice, I would try to spare your kids from that if possible.)[/quote]
