[quote=Anonymous]I sometimes feel the same way, OP. I went from a $1,100/month mortgage on a townhouse in Merrifield to a $2400/month mortgage on a SFH in Arlington. I can handle the payments and I can handle the maintenance - mostly - but sometimes I *really* miss that smaller mortgage payment (and smaller, less time-consuming yard) and wonder if I could have stuck it out. I try to focus on the positives. I literally cut 50% off my commute, which had stretched to 3+ hours a day once daycare pickup/dropoff was figured in. I got a cute house in a neighborhood I love, with killer schools. i'm blessed. Sometimes I'm also stressed, but it helps to remind myself that I am blessed. (and that yes, worst case, i could sell for a small profit and rent if I *really* had to.) good luck.[/quote]
