hi i am going to put our first house up for sale at the end of the month we bought it for 45000 and look to make about 40000 profit on it. we are looking at houses in a better area and the school catchment that we need for the kids there are houses from 65000 to 110000 in the area we want higher being done up lower needing tlc the next house move we do i hope will be our last but family and friends have said "well in a few years you can move to something better but we want to get settled in a house overpay on our mortgage and then LIVE alot of family live in £150000 to half a mil detached houses but we want to use our money to see the world and do exactly what we want am i wrong or is it ok to want more than a house. also i hate half of the houses they live in like the beginng of harry potter they all have the same detached house and they have the same car they all work 9-5 and are all middle aged is it wrong to not want that ?:)

Are you bored or building your post count?

That's a daft question. :D It's all personal choice, no right or wrong involved.

We all do what we feel is best for us, our family and our life in general. What's important to one wont matter a jot to another.

Good luck with your move when it happens.

no seriously when i mention travelling and buying a camper van or going to disneyland which are the most tame things my MIL looks at me like im stupid and my mother says oh you dont want to do that everyone is so negative about it we are getting to the point that we are wondering are we wrong to want more ?

Some like to be very settled and have their life path clearly marked out, whereas others like to see where life takes them. It's just different ways. The good thing is, every one of us got our own life when we were born so we don't have to live other people's.

You do what makes you happy. Imo, as long as you provide your kids with a loving stable home, then it doesn't matter if it's a small but bijou job or a huge mansion.

Different strokes as they say. We can't all want the same things, how boring would life be then.


Live as you want to live as long as it's honest and not hurting anyone else.
Only you and your family know what will make you all happy.

If you just want a smaller house with smaller bills so you can enjoy your leisure time more, then who can argue with that?

I do wish you would use full stops in your posts though, they're a bit hard to follow.

Yer but you can breathe...and when you breathe at the end of a sentence just pop a full stop in. When you breathe mid sentence, pop a comma in.

That's exactly how I was taught at school.
