The comments are so odd. You’re doing something that most people wouldn’t because of comments like this but it’s genius. Living a life with the least amount of debt possible is such a flex and gives you a life for your family that gives you more security. Best of luck 🤞 ☘️

I hate the narrative that everyone has to live the same. Location is important to you, you're currently saving. Kids are happy and healthy

The only question I have is why add a dog to an already hectic situation

These comments are really not a vibe, I completely understand. I think you always want the best for your children, and at the ages they are currently, they will not care whether they are in a 2 bed flat or a 12 bed mansion. The sacrifices you make now, will pay off in the long run. Future you will be proud of the decisions you made x

people seem to forget that big families were living in small 2/3 bedroom houses only 40/50 years ago. it's great if every child can have their own room but it's not an necessity. we've a small 3 bedroom house with 2 young kids (3 &5) the kids are currently in the same room but when older they'll have their own room. we hope to build an extension in the next few years too. we are in a great neighbourhood with great neighbours and it's so safe I don't want to leave.

I live on guernsey and our prices here are prob equivalent to London. 1 bed flat is 300K to rent a 1 bed is approx £1800 I need 3 bed house and to rent I’m looking at £2500-£3k + a month. I don’t even earn that much. I rent from my mum and she wants me to pay what I don’t earn. I’m forced to save what I can and look elsewhere to live off island

Happiness/ location over size of house 💫 ✨✨✨✨✨ we legit downsized from a 4 bed, 3 bathrooms, dining room, to 3 bed, 1 bathroom, small kitchen, but I’m 10x happier being close

Location is so so important! Totally agree 👌 a smaller house is also less to clean, in my mind 🤣

We’ve just bought a house around 15 min drive/less than 10 mins on the train to Brighton as it is cheaper (though it’s the South East so still not cheap compared to Scotland 🤣) and we’re surrounded by countryside. I love going to Brighton and my husband has family in Hove. It must be lovely to live by the sea 🥰 I’m Scottish and my husband is English, sometimes I look at houses in Scotland and I’m like omg we could get a mansion for the price of our place 😅
