I’d downsize but we moved my 95 yo father in law in to care for him I still have an 8 year old at home and 27 year old daughter moved in during her residency to save $ to lay down student loans. House is as full as ever! Hopefully when 27 yo moves out in the next year two we will be blessed with son in law and grandchildren. When my out of town family including son and his 2 kids visit we currently have to put them up in a hotel! You only think life gets less complicated when you retire…
This is true. One of the arguments my wife emphasizes against selling is she’s convinced my oldest daughter and grandson will leave her husband. She could be right. He’s an er, weenie.
I recently retired and am now really only able to fully enjoy my home since I’m finished busting my tail off.
I’ve swum more in my pool this summer than in all of the past twenty years combined. I’ve watched more movies in my home theater this year than ever, and I’m sitting on the back deck watching the leaves change as I type this over a nice cup of coffee. Perhaps she’s right.
