I'm NEVER moving again! It is a nightmare, especially if you're a pack rat like me. :-)
Would like to say my house is almost paid off but... When I was house hunting, I had a list of what I wanted, based on having lived in apartments and my condo. Got most of it, glad to say. The rest i can live without or add later.
Top of my list was finding a house where I can live now (still active at 58) but can also live comfortably in when I retire (way things are going, that may be when I,m 83!). My little Cape Cod house has two bedrooms and full bath on the first floor so it's essentially a ranch style, only with another two bedrooms and bath upstairs. (Sounds big but the square footage is small.) I tell everyone that when I die, they can bury me in the backyard. As I said, I'm never moving again!!
