Mshymind,
You are so right!
In my heart of hearts i am glad i at least tried because that is easier than never trying at all and wondering "what if"?
The good thing about the small house is: less debt, i wont have to sell it and downsize when we're empty nesters, and i highly doubt i will have any of my adult kids hanging out and living in my basement as there simply isnt the room.
A smaller house will give us the option to travel more too (this would be delayed a decade or longer if i had a newborn right now)
Thank you for putting things in perspective for me.
