I live with my partner and our 3 year old in a 2 up 2 down terraced house. We've made it a really nice home for us but we cannot add any more space and the area is full of noise and bars (this was more of a positive when we were a childless couple in our 20s).
In the new year, my DP became the driving force when we decided we should move. He's been great, booking valuations and viewings and being very proactive. Our house is due to go on the market in the next few days. I had a wobble this morning when I looked at how much we've managed to save over the last few months now that we no longer have such big childcare costs since DS has turned 3 and I've secured a promotion at work. We've always struggled with money but it feels we're now in a more stable position with ok jobs and low outgoings. The houses that are going to give us what we want are going to mean double our current monthly repayments on a longer term.
Everyone around me is saying that moving is definitely the right decision. That we have clearly outgrown our house and it's time to give DS more outdoor space and move to a nicer area.
AIBU to worry however about the lack of financial stability we'll feel once we've moved?
