We are in a very fortunate position of being able to pay off the mortgage within the first half of this year.
We live in a modest house, with a small back yard, larger than average front garden and one less bedroom than I'd ideally like - our youngest two DCs share a room. The kitchen is small, but what the house lacks in space, it more than makes up for in history, character and happy memories (I think!)
We've lived here since our DC3 was born, so two of our children have only ever lived here, and DC1 can't remember living anywhere else.
I work in a completely stress free job, which I love. It fits in around the school day, so we have no need for childcare, which on my income, we couldn't afford anyway!
DH is self-employed, and has a very stressful job, which he doesn't really enjoy. He shoulders all the financial responsibility, but is happy to do this, and for me to be doing the job I do.
I would love to stay here, and for DH to under less pressure, spend more time at home, have a day off in the week...go fishing, anything but be under even more pressure!
He's keen to move, so that each DC can have their own room, to a house with more land. Even when I've talked him round, and he agrees, he keeps going back to "Should we, shouldn't we?" scenario.
WWYD wise ones?
