[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom of 4 here. I own a house and am a total house person — love beautiful spaces and decorating (a challenge with 4!) But it perplexes me why people are so confident that buying a house is a big factor here. We have bought houses wisely and foolishly and gained and lost hundreds of thousands, once because we bought into a gentrifying neighborhood, once because my husband got sick and we had to sell. It’s just not so simple and, while I still prefer to own, I would not use this “rent or own”’idea in my math for having a 4th. However I would definitely consider whether you could absorb a big financial shock (terrible illness) or a kid with special needs.[/quote]

OP here-- exactly. This has turned from a 4 kids thread to a home buying thread.
I'm pretty much no longer interested in having 4 kids, lol. It is unnecessary and we're so happy with our family and living situation. Adding a 4th would definitely make it more of a likelihood we'd have to move sooner.
I guess this whole push to buy a home thing has made me think more about why I like living where we do, with the family we have. I really like it (we really like it) and I think we'll stick to the plan of staying here through elementary school.[/quote]
