Dh has given up. Refuses to talk about it. Says it's too late now we are in our mid-forties. We haven't got any savings - too busy paying the blasted fees on this ridiculous house.
If we did buy it would be far smaller than the lovely house we are renting. But it would be ours. Dh says so what, it's an English thing and we're better off renting a lovely house.
Can't handle the thought of renting still when we are 80 (God willing). I'm now working again but we are in an unusual situation (self-employed and other factors).
It's the one thing that really bothers me. Is it much nicer to own your own house? We've rented for 20 years.
And even if we could get a small mortgage; would it be selfish on the children to all move into a smaller house.
We're on outskirts of London so would need about £500,000.
Should I just resign myself to renting til we die?
AIBU to be hanging on.
