re: Home Addition Financial Question

I hear ya....that just wouldn't work for us. Our home is a huge part of our overall long term financial plan. We did a ton of homework to work with a great builder to get a great house in a great location for a great price and with a great rate. At retirement time the house will be paid off, and depending upon values at that time, and what our kids are doing, we'll have the flexibility to relocate and/or downsize if we so choose.
