So we have recently come into a modest inheritance.
I think we should use the money to upgrade to a larger size house in our current area, and then send DC to private school further away (45-minute commute). The area where we live is not flash, but I love our community and have good friends here. Primary schools are good. Public secondary schools, however, do not have a good reputation.
DH would rather purchase in alternative area across the other side of the city, where secondary school options are very good. Due to the price difference between areas, we would be unlikely to have a bigger house (which we both would really like), and, over time, I strongly suspect that we would probably lose a lot of existing friendships from our current community, apart from one or two really close ones. Purely due to logistics of being across other side of town.
AIBU?
