My mom still lives there. And the driving really got to me.

I like the urban lifestyle. But don't really want to be living at the mall personally. To each their own.
I truly regret moving when we were in our mid 30's from our "starter" home.

If I can give you any advice - if it is at all possible to make do where you are, or renovate to improve your situation - do it.

You waste SOOOO much money on a move that you could instead dump into your current house. Think about the realtor fees (even if you don't use one), moving fees, lawyers, etc. etc. It really adds up. And it's all throw away money.

We put ourselves back probably a decade in terms of paying off mortgages with our move to a bigger house. And if I had to do it all over again, I would have stayed put.
