Downsizing sounds like a simple way to save money—sell the big house, pocket the cash, live leaner. But real life isn’t that tidy. In this week’s episode, Pete, Damian, and Kristen unpack the hidden math, emotional pull, and lifestyle trade-offs behind the “should we move?” question. From rising taxes and leaky roofs to property tax freezes and priceless neighborhood ties, we dig into when staying put might secretly be the better deal—and when it’s time to pack the boxes. Plus, we explore creative options for making your home (or your housing budget) work harder without automatically going smaller. Whether you’re a retiree with an empty nest or just wondering if your house fits your future, this conversation will help you decide what’s truly right for your wallet and your well-being.
