[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents kept their house bc we all go there at Christmas. It’s great, but honestly a bit silly - we could all meet up literally anywhere, so it doesn’t make sense to keep a house for 52 weeks because it comes in handy for 1.[/quote] I have already told my kids this. I am 47 and they are 10 and 13. I told them I am not maintaining a large house in my late 50s or beyond in case they come home for Christmas. I will be getting a townhouse. If it is not big enough, we can rent a large house for a week for Christmas and in the summer. [/quote] Yes! We downsized to a 2bed/2bath condo once youngest went to college. When kids are "home" we rent a larger place for a week or we rent the guest suite in our condo bldg. Much easier to rent a big home for only the time you need it. [/quote]
