Strange question...who here is in their "forever" house?
Dec 26, 2012, 3:10 PM

The one you plan to grow old in and not sell unless forced to?
The wife and I were talking about what we wanted in our "forever" house (as she put it) the other day, and I just wondered who was at that point.

Every time the subject of moving came up, we realized we couldn't get what we've got anywhere else. Each time, we would spent pooploads of money doing stuff to the house instead.

Thats a very difficult to plan.

I never intended to be in my previous house as long as I was.
I thought I would have been able to move to Clemson 5-7 years ago. It hasn't worked out, and I've finally accepted that it probably won't happen. So I'll probably stay in this one as long as I have a job here--which could be 10 days or 10 years.
As I said..difficult to plan.

It's a hard sell as a place to get folks to move to, unless they have a financial reason or emotional tie I would guess. Just wondering if you had a hard time convincing her to agree to move there when you were talking about it.
Although, if you spend some time there, especially on the lakes, it grows on you pretty quickly.

commercial taxes on the area your neighborhood is located. Charlotte and Atlanta have taxed a LOT of beautiful old homes out of the market to develop and collect on a higher tax base over the years.

I sometimes wonder why in the hell the two of us need 2,400 sf. Since the kids departed, we only use about half of it. Well, except for when we chase each other around the other parts of the house rediscovering some semblance of our youth (Sorry to post that part so close to supper).
I would actually prefer a small cabin towards the mountains not too far outside of Clemson.
On the other hand, if our kids would get busy, we could fill the entire 2,400 sf with grandchillens.
We're becoming more impulsive with our decisions in life, so who knows.

avoid them coming back.
My parents have been in the same house since the 70s. Since they have so much stuff my Dad says only way he's leaving is feet first to avoid the mother of all moves.
I'll let you know when the estate sale happens (hopefully in the distant future) because I'm not moving all that stuff either.

The love of the people in the house is all I plan to stick with forever. A house is just an object.

Neighborhoods change, houses go into disrepair; sometimes its just better to leave for a new start.
I don't get attached much to houses. They come and go.
