[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so glad my parents have nothing to inherit except maybe debt.

My wife's side of the family is more well-off and I have seen some ugly disputes over land and property. Two brothers no longer speak. The family has to balance functions - if brother A came to Thanksgiving, brother B gets to come to Christmas, etc. So crazy. [/quote]
Personally I have so many "should haves" in hindsight. What I try to do is follow it through with a worst case scenario. Had I bought that bigger house would I have nightmare neighbors instead of the lovely families I do now? If I had taken that job with more money would I have dreaded going into work today?

Maybe OP can reframe her thoughts about it using your experience. She can mourn the loss of both memories and potential financial gains had the decision gone one way, but can also imagine a downside if they had kept the house. Would it have spawned disputes about who gets to stay there, who does maintenance, etc. Maybe she dodged a lot of family fights.
