How did you come to acquire your current "dream home?"


Did you build it yourself, or did you find it on the market when you went home searching?

Although I would greatly prefer a larger lot, would really be tempted to reduce my debt by downsizing as long as I wasn't moving into a higher crime area to do so...

But remember that if you own your house, you're really only cutting your house payment in roughly half because you still have insurance and tax payments. Although it does sound like the new place would have a lower tax & insurance base, they won't be eliminated.

Always be straight with your wife about that when you're presenting your case for downsizing.
