I've been thinking about my house for a while now. I'm not in love with my house. Its not quite big enough for us. We have 3 bedrooms and 2 baths plus the normal living room, kitchen and one other room that I have no clue what to call. Family room, I guess. None of these rooms are supersized and we have no basement or attic.......no garage only a teeny shed for outdoor storage. Oh and we have the enclosed porch that is STILL under contruction. The outside is finished but not the inside.
So anyway, I've thought before about selling it and finding something a bit bigger or at the least something with a smaller payment. We didn't spend a fortune on this house but the payments are alot for us.
The problem, you ask? The 2.5 acres that we (and the bank, of course!) own are part of the original farm that my grandparents had. I remember as a child sled riding in the field where my house is now. This is HOME! My parents and grandmother live on what's left of the farm acreage so its not as if I let my part go, it would be out of the family.
I wonder sometimes if my sentimentality is endangering my family's financial security.

That's a hard thing to measure--family connections vs space and finances. Tough situation. Just follow your heart.
