Well said!
Well, if you have already bought a new house, even if you worry a lot, you will not be able to change anything (nobody could hold back the wheel of history isn't it?) --- so why worry? Just stay carefree, do a good job at work, enjoy time with your family and take whatever might come with a SMILE.
If you have not bought a house yet --- well, who knows if this is good or bad? Good news is that you might have avoided some financial loss (well hard to say if this is true, because you are still paying your monthly rents for living in an apartment, while getting barely anything from this monthly spending), yet your family is not enjoying the big house convenience and comfort.
And for those who have bought a new big house and have to sell the current one --- I guess it is a townhouse to sell --- so? when economy is bad, the main impact will be on big single houses as their price will drop. But for small townhouses, how big could the impact be? You might have to lose a few thousands on selling the townhouse. Well take it as a fact and move on. Tomorrow is always another day.
Life is so much more than just money (though money is always one of the important things to deal with) --- there are so many more things to do and to think about... Take it easy......
