Time was when “rightsizing” had a much different meaning that it does today. You were probably raising a young family, your income was growing each year as you were moving up the ladder, and your home never seemed big enough for your family’s needs.

Just as you settled in one house, you began thinking how much more comfortable you would be in a larger home.

Your Needs Have Changed
Your life has changed a lot since those days. No longer do you continually bump into the kids as they get ready for school, nor are you heading off to work each day. In fact, there probably are rooms in your house that you have not used for a long time.

And the lawn and garden take a lot more time to maintain than you like, even if it is just to keep the place from looking like an eyesore.

Then there are the routine house expenses for utilities, maintenance and repairs that continue to climb rapidly, even though you are probably living on a fixed income now.

Factor in the thousands of dollars of unexpected major costs of a new roof or furnace, or for the electrical system that needs rewiring, and it is just like waiting fearfully for the second shoe to drop.
