[quote=Anonymous][quote]There are many reasons people may not want to uproot their families when the time comes. Here are a few: you'd be moving your child away from his friends; you'd be moving away from the friendships you've made in the last 10 years; you'd be perhaps moving any other children at an inconvenient point in their lives; you might lose out on some of the financial benefits of purchasing a home you plan to stay in for 20 or 30 years; moving sucks, especially when you have kids.[/quote]
I used to be like this - must purchase the house we will live in for the next 15 years before my kid starts preschool.  I quickly realized that trying to predict what will be the right situation for my daughter when she starts high school in 10 years is futile, and trying to plan the next 15 years of my life is exhausting.  Plus, if you're moving to Bethesda, N. Arlington, and many parts of Fairfax, you can probably safely bet that things are still going to be good in a few years.  Farther out?  At best, it's a crapshoot.  I'll take quality of life (which of course is an individualized calculation) right now, Anex.   [/quote]
