We live in an expensive part of the country. Not London or the outer fringes so not earning any more. We are both in jobs where salaries are higher in those areas for doing the exact same thing. I feel so down about the cost of houses where we are. I can't help but compare to what my friends are buying back where I am from in the Midlands and its making me so sad. We could have our absolute dream house back up there. And sometimes I wonder what benefits are there to living here. There are more affordable areas but they are away from the good schools and the local facilities. Will it ever pay off? Moving back isn't an option. Kids and careers to think of now. Part of me thinks the expensive property will benefit our kids in the long run when they come to inherit from us but then I also think if we weren't here we could just be saving the money. I don't know if I'm over thinking this. Does anyone feel this way? How do you console yourself that you are spending mad money to live in a certain area?
