Thank you all for your insight into downsizing. If I ran the numbers it could be that we would also just about come out even, as we also pay for lawn maintenance, maid, repairs, property taxes etc. But my DH has a workshop in the garage that he enjoys puttering in and he really enjoys playing in our large back yard with his flowers, baskets, pots etc. Not something we have to consider right away as we are both still working but at 72 and 70, a subject that comes up occasionally. Ideally we'd like to just stay put as our kids and grandkids are less than 20 miles away, except for the 2 that insisted on going far away to college:)
