But the taxes were high, and their home felt small for their growing family. They were reluctant to leave because they felt emotionally tied to the area. When they started exploring other towns, they
discovered a community where: • The schools were just as good • The lots were larger • The taxes were far lower • The homes were newer • The environment was quieter
They drove through the new town at dusk on a weekday. Kids were riding bikes. Couples walked their dogs. The street was peaceful. Something clicked for them. They told me later that they realized they were living in the town they thought they “should” love, not the town they actually wanted. Their move did not just improve their finances. It improved their day to day life. Your Homework As you explore potential towns, take note of your emotional reactions. Some places simply feel more like home. Combine that with the financial data, and you will find clarity quickly. And if you want help understanding how a town you love fits into your long term goals, that is where I can support you when you are ready.
