First Steps in Downsizing

What the financial gurus don't tell you about downsizing...

  • 1) It's easy to getting sucked into an emotional tail spin while moving, signing closing papers, etc., which could affect my judgement leading to....

    2) Wasting money on items I don't foresee, but crop up as emergencies.

    3) Pretending that there won't be any emergencies!

    4) Panicking and renting a place that is too expensive, wiping out my gains and making me wonder -- what did I go through all this crap for? To live in less of a house, in a neighborhood I don't like, for exactly the same expense? Could be VERY depressing.

    5) All of which would imperil my job performance, relationships with friends and my daughter, my mental health...YUK.
