Advice Wanted - Sell the Lakefront House or Keep it in the Family?

Biggd · 08-12-2020, 10:42 AM

I'm back in the same house I grew up in 66 years ago in Ma. I have fond memories of growing up in this house but those will always be with me. The area has changed and I'm done with the house. I want to move on but my wife has trouble letting go even though she didn't grow up here.
She just has trouble with change in general where I just feel every new home is a chance to start fresh even now at 66.
I embrace change where my wife dreads it. So moving is an emotional process for her.
I'm on my 3rd lake house on 3 different lakes and although I have fond memories of the first two I love the one I have now.
Everyone is different so you have to take that into consideration when there are multiple siblings involved.
