[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp here. DH and I both come from humble backgrounds. DH is obsessed with financial security. Our retirement and kids college funds are fully funded. We would not choose being house poor over financial security. It sounds like OP could upgrade their home. Everyone I know has moved at least once since having kids. My oldest is in high school now. Lots of people move when kids are in elementary, especially from inner city or close in suburbs for more space.[/quote]

Op here. We definitely could. But even my 8 year old says it’s enough space. It’s only 2500 SF but for 2 adults and 1 kid, it’s plenty. We have 2 rooms that barely get used.[/quote]

We are the big house. My kids all complain that they don’t have kids running around. There is a townhouse community where a few of their friends live and they love going there. My son recently said he wished he lived there instead of ours because those kids can just walk outside and play with tons of kids.

A few kids have called our house a mansion. We have a large playroom and the entire basement is for the kids. My kids would rather run around that townhouse community playground.[/quote]

Same we live in a large house and there aren't any kids around - I regret choosing this house over more affordable, but smaller homes in the popular neighborhood that most of our school families live in.[/quote]
