Just looking for perspective and hopefully experiences.
How would you feel if you were in a situation where your only chance of owning a home was to buy one that was too small to permanently house your DC?
The DC are adults in this hypothetical scenario.
Is it normal/common? Does it work, do you feel guilty and would it be difficult practically for your DC?
For context, I have young DC now and rent. I'm very unlikely to afford a family sized home in my area of choice, but could afford a small place.
It goes without saying moving somewhere cheaper is an option, but I'm interested in exploring this option as a long term plan as well. I'm 31 now and am thinking about what to do in 20 years or so. All my DC would be in their 20's.
