I too did a major downsize as I lost my 5 bedroom home to foreclosure, I had a huge rummage sale for whatever I couldn't take, ask the kids if they want anything and then sell it. I moved to a 3 bedroom upper then after a year they sold it so I then had to move to a 2 bedroom upper, now for the past 2.5 years I am once again in a 4 plus bedroom home that I am renting. If this fails too, I will have to move to my mom's house of only 800sq. feet-I can't do it.
