[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - we live in Bethesda.  I am pretty sure I am not the only one who has insecurities and I think part of parenting is recognizing my own insecurities versus what honestly would be better for the kids.  More space when they are teenagers, so we have one of the houses all of the kids congregate in?  Work more hours? Money set aside for traveling?  More college savings?  It sounds like some of the previous posters are 100 percent confident in their choices, but I find the trade-offs more complicated.  I would think there are parents who have made difficult choices in order to purchase a larger house, and they are happy they did so.[/quote]

We're in the process now of purchasing a much nicer house than the one we just sold. There are trade offs-- we may send our DS to public school (great neighborhood school) to ease with the finances. We need to change some things about our lifestyle, including traveling less and more frugally. We're doing it because we are in our forties and wanted to buy the house we will retire in- if we don't do it now, it won't happen. I know people make differ et choices, but feeling kinship with my living space is important to me. I want to create a home that we love. [/quote]
