[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We bought our forever home where WE wanted to live.   Four of our five are grown and gone.  Trying to buy near your kids doesn't make sense in today's more transient world.  I have one in Wyoming.  One in Colorado.  One in Georgia.  One in DC.   One high schooler still at home.  We bought in Florida in a community with a water park, several pools, skate park,  play ground,  horse trails.....  near the beach,  a couple of hours from Orlando.  We have four bedrooms and an enclosed pool.  We bought in a place we knew our kids and grandkids would want to visit.  It worked.  We've had all of our kids home for Christmas and summer vacation every year for the last five years.  Our oldest two are married and I kinda feel bad for their in laws.   The kids come here way more often because we have plenty of space and live in a place many people choose to vacation.

We have a house full of grandkids.  Downsizing would have been a bad decision. [/quote]

Wow.  That sounds really nice!  [/quote]

We love it!  And it's so cheap to live here.  We only paid 350,000 for the house.  Unreal to me after many years in DC.   [/quote]

I'm pro-downsizing but I agree with the PP that your way of choosing a new home sounds really nice. There are more than a few ways to skin a cat and it is quite possible to 'downsize' your expenses while still upsizing your life. [/quote]
