[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  Unless your house is huge, I'd wait.

Kids come back home after college these days. And they even when they leave, -- they marry and have children. You need space for them![/quote]
At some point, though, you do want to downsize.  My parents didn't, and they are now too old to take care of their house - two stories, largish yard, and it's harder now to get them to move.[/quote]

Can't agree more! Don't wait too long. My parents are now 67, 2 story house falling apart, big yard....but they are older now and it's so hard to get them to go thru their clutter and get their house ready to move even though it's what they want. They wish they would've done it 10 years ago when their kids were mid-20s and they didn't have grandkids yet. They had more free time and more energy![/quote]

Why don't you leave them alone? Its their stuff. We have cleared out homes of both sets of parents. really, its not hard once they are gone. Don't be lazy.[/quote]
