The next move might not even be the forever home.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089695 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 16:59:39 +0000 travellingbee 2089695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not although I love this house. I don't want to live in a big city forever though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089686 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 16:52:56 +0000 MsMini 2089686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! It totally *could* be, but it isn't our dream, so we will probably live here long enough to save up to build the dream home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089681 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 16:48:44 +0000 pui 2089681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just recently bought a new home, though we don't move in until April. Is it or forever home? Maybe. We're going to live there for 5 years and then decide. While it doesn't have all the "dream home" qualities, it does have a lot going for it like size and location. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089676 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 16:37:26 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2089676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's the plan. But we've stalled on renovations and now I kind of wish we didn't buy a fixer-upper, although I know that would have been impossible since there were so few homes in our (small) neighborhood and we were lucky to buy when we did because we wouldn't have been able to afford the spike in prices after we moved in (and I would have wanted to renovate regardless). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089554 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 13:36:57 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2089554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not even close! We are renting and will move at least 2 or 3 times before we settle down somewhere. Even then "forever" might be only about 15 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089494 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 11:37:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2089494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: exactly! I've never lived in one house longed than 8 years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089489 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 11:30:19 +0000 marionberry 2089489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am doubtful. It's a fabulous house and in my hometown but there are job shifts coming up in the future which may cause us to move. I'd be happy staying but not so connected that I would be upset about moving. There's a lot of renovation we'd still like to do to this house if it will be permanent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089457 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 10:33:12 +0000 lady baltimore 2089457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just moved in the fall and want to stay here for at least ten years. I can't yet say what we'd want different in a next house, but I also can't imagine being here (our first home) forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089337 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 03:55:39 +0000 AprilFool 2089337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! And I can't imagine buying a forever home at 30ish. Seems far too long to stay in one house for 50 odd years. Even our next house probably won't be 'forever'. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089335 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 03:53:15 +0000 Rocker2014 2089335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...unless we win the lottery! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089328 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 02:42:26 +0000 erinpye 2089328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really know anyone who has lived in one home for decades, or called their home that. We'll move houses again, I'm sure, no idea how many times. I'd love to give up the house and the suburbs, and live in a condo in the middle of the city when DH and I are empty nesters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089298 Sat, 28 Feb 2015 00:28:48 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2089298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not even remotely. I think we are a long way away from being in our forever home. I see us buying an "in between" house in the next year or so, living there for a while, and then buying again. I see THAT house being our forever home, and the home we eventually retire in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089289 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 23:30:46 +0000 tysonja 2089289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089285 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 23:27:17 +0000 Trufflehunter 2089285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. We will need to be out of our 2 bedroom house in under 5 years I reckon. Whether we go on to have a second child or not but especially if we have a 2nd. It already feels maxed out but I love it so much :sad: so that's gonna suck leaving it. I am really quite attached to our suburb so I think I'd like to try to stay here but buy a bigger family home. Only thing is we border the inner city and once you are looking at the 3 bed+ the costs go up exponentially. We would both need to work full time or very close to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2089179 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 21:00:32 +0000 808love 2089179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! We intended it to be and would like it to be. The longer we stay the more antsy I get but I think it will pass and I will settle into this being our forever home. I am too practical to risk changing our original plan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088518 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 12:38:41 +0000 cascademom 2088518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We're planning on moving soon especially after last night. I'm so tired of our bad neighbors. We've outgrown our condo. I can't wait to have them not as neighbors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088517 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 12:38:25 +0000 chopsuey 2088517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We built this house thinking it will be our forever home.<br /> It's definitely our "for the next 16 years" home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088514 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 12:36:13 +0000 ShootingStar 2088514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's the plan right now. We bought our house last summer and we hope to be here at least until DS grows up. DH wants to buy a 2nd home in FL when we retire and keep this house. I'm not sure I'm on board with that plan, so we'll see what "forever" entails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088499 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 12:28:24 +0000 Mrs. J 2088499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I mean, if we had to stay, we could, but we'd prefer a bigger house. We LOVE our neighbors and location, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088464 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 11:58:19 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2088464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we're renting and will until I leave the military or get stationed in the area we want to settle in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088446 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 11:44:08 +0000 yin 2088446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but our forever home is full of problems that need to be addressed and fixed. Right now I'm stressed out and kind of regret buying this house because it's old and in need of so many repairs. We just don't have the time and money to do everything we want to at the moment. DH reminds me that we can work on the house but chose the location and that's not something that can be changed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088241 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:14:54 +0000 petunia354 2088241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long term home? Yes. Forever? Probably not. We'll likely downsize after the kid(s) are out of the house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088229 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:11:14 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2088229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. When DH is done his program at work we will probably build our forever home. (Couple years) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088225 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:08:31 +0000 MaryM 2088225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But we're hoping to be this spring!</p> <p>I bought my house when I was single and got a two bedroom "just in case" I got married and started a family. But since getting married, we've realized just how small the house actually is for us. DH isn't a small person, so it just feels tiny. Plus I long for the day we can have separate bathrooms (boys are gross) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088178 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:39:28 +0000 Alivoo01 2088178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our current home is pretty darn close to being our forever home; and it very well could be. But if our home plus a few of our "must haves" became available in the part of town we used to live in - we'd totally move in a heartbeat. We absolutely loved the location of our previous home. We just outgrew it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088140 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:14:16 +0000 LuLu Mom 2088140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we bought this house knowing it was our first house and one we could raise a young family in, but we are getting the itch to move to something bigger and in a smaller town. It's a good house, but I'm hoping we will build our "forever" home next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088129 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:10:03 +0000 snowjewelz 2088129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hope to be! It's a 3 bedroom so would fit 2 kids. It wouldn't be the biggest space ever, but I grew up in apartments so I'm sure we'll be fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088124 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:08:50 +0000 creativemomma15 2088124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope so! We bought this house knowing we could expand within it and finish areas to make it workable. It is currently a 3 bedroom but our next hope is to finish the attic into a bedroom and eventually a bathroom. We have plenty of house projects to get the house where we want it long term but I love it and am glad we can stay here forever if we want :) (It does help that my dad is a contractor so we have help with house projects and a little cheaper cost there.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-in-your-forever-home-2/page/2#post-2088112 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:00:18 +0000 Anagram 2088112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not even close! We live in a super expensive area, so we are in a 2 bedroom condo. We are going to live here for another year or two, then probably look into moving. But even the next move will not be our "forever" home! I'm not sure I believe in those, though.</p> <p>Neither of our parents live in the same house now that we grew up in. My husband's parents have moved countries twice since then! </p>
