[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your MIL could easily need all of it for nursing care. [/quote]

Yes I realize that she will need that. The question was whether it was wrong to want an inheritance early. I know it’s not happening.

We are fine where we are but there is no way to move up to a larger home without family help.

It will take a few more years of earned income and promotions to do that.[/quote]

It is wrong to want an inheritance early.  It is also wrong to count on an inheritance as no one can predict the future. I think it is time for you to concentrate on wanting what you have.  Living within your means and saving up for something makes it more meaningful and you might find you house is just fine once you have the money saved.  Then, you can change your priorities to something else.

Start looking at your current house to make it work better for you. Do you need to declutter, including furniture? Do you need designated space for adults and for children? What outdoor space do you have?  Make the most of that too.  How old are your children?  [/quote]

Kids are 2 and 4. No yard and very small patio.

No rearranging will really help change the layout.

We pay $5k for our monthly mortgage and that would double under current rates with a larger home.

We will have to move further out, which is a shame bc we do like this area.[/quote]
