Interesting personal view that works well for the gentleman from Dorset, in his chosen locale. We know the area, and can understand his feelings.
Conversely, we hope never to give up our home in RSF to rent, since, by today’s standards, it was such an incredible bargain. Because we purchased the home over twenty years ago, we have very little, if any, weight on our shoulders with regard to the home, and also have great freedom to do whatever else we may wish to do.
I only mention this because there are many, many very content people who purchased homes in the relatively distant past, who don’t consider them to be a burden, and are also living their “dreams.”
There are so many personal variables concerning housing, that everyone just needs to find what works for them. IMO, there really is no “right”
or “wrong”–it’s whatever makes you and your family happy.
