I just want to sell the house and relieve the pressure

I just feel so tired of feeling so skint.

My husbands job never recovered from covid and then Brexit. He is trying to get extra work but has been in a v niche industry for his whole career so increasing income will take some time. I work 3.5 days - currently no scope to up this.

We have our dream house. It's lovely, in the countryside, big garden, very private. Tried and failed for planning for anything to generate income.

We could sell it, move onto a newer estate, in the catchment area of a top school and be mortgage free.

I don't want to give up the dream house BUT I also want to have money to enjoy experiences with the kids (14, 8) while they are young. My heart is screaming one thing and my head another - help!!

I’d move.
You may have your dream house but you don’t have your dream life.
