We all tend to miss opportunities of various importance. Yesterday, I missed my chance to write 1-1-11 on a check. It's just such a concise date that I should have somehow found a reason to write it. Next big chance will be in November. How exciting.
Our children are with us for under twenty years, and then they are gone. Even if they don't take the hint and they try to continue living with us, they are our adult daughters and sons, not our children. Children are born to a path leading to independence, and that path, with a few twists and turns, ends in adulthood. We have about an eighteen year window of opportunity to work and laugh and cry and provide for and enjoy our children.
Every year, the window closes a bit, and it closes more rapidly as time progresses. Some of the life decisions we postpone have a diminishing return on benefit as the years go by. Postpone buying a better home for a year, and your eight year old misses ten percent of all the good things that come with it.
Some things in life are better executed sooner than later, and a choice to move up to a better home is a choice that cannot be evaluated only in dollars. If you can possibly afford it, the best time to give your family a better home is now. Don't find yourself looking back at another missed opportunity.
If you would like to move up from your current home, it may be easier than you think. Call me to arrange a time for a move up orientation and feasibility session in my Eagan office. You may find that what you believe isn't possible or practical can become a reasonable and attainable goal.
