the burden of scaling down for them it was regarding the hardest point we needed to do you know believe concerning it choosing on whatever they gathered that experience really opened our eyes as well as offered us a real start the butt and also informed us that there was a genuine demand to do this procedure for ourselves so our youngsters didn'' t need to and also while we spend a great section of our life in the very same house as we did at some point we we decided yet at some point you might choose to downsize either as the kids vacate or simply you wish to relocate to it to a various location for a various way of life and you understand for greater than four years we both spent a great deal of time gathering what i call things and points you had extra stuff though and also points by the method and also your three little girls had lots of stuff hold on a second alright i can keep in mind clearly taking a time off of job i wear'' t remember this yep a day a getaway day in the summer all right it was 138 degrees when you did the attic room indeed and also i located every one of your boys pack you did tucked in edges complete of mice oh that'' s right however since they happen to leave granola we didn'' t want to speak about that today yet anyhow okay yeah so i'brought it up so currently i ' m in problem obviously however anyhow we built up all this we did and and we would certainly do annual removes as well as we would ask the youngsters to do annual removes that would certainly help us you understand give points away and contribute as well as you recognize be helpful in the neighborhood but we still finished up with a great deal of stuff we did we did and when you as well as i sat down and i was pressing this greater than you were absolutely pressing uh pressing when we rested down to discuss this downsizing it was challenging it really was as well as sometimes we simply agreed not to speak about it which i wear'' t recognize if that was a good idea however it was excellent to step far from the discussion well we absolutely weren'' t on the exact same web page no and we didn'' t have the same timeline no and afterwards when we sort of broke the seal as well as began speaking with the children about it we started obtaining various point of views sure and afterwards you know we began speaking about not scaling down yet truly appropriate sizing right as well as i keep in mind i would call it our huge aha moment we had this fantastic residence with an exterior patio that was covered as well as we had an open fireplace and we'' re resting out one early morning jody as well as i with her brother michael having coffee and also he brought the topic up he was checking out the backyard and also he claimed oh my gosh it'' s so fantastic that you people are considering selling this home to make sure that one more family with young children can come in and also take advantage of the school system and we considered each various other and i thought oh my god i never ever even considered it in this way you know it was definitely a manner in which we reframed downsizing from what i really felt was negative connotation you understand us leaving you understand us having to go via all the procedure of removing us needing to explain to the kids do you have a space do you not have an area when you return from university as well as all those points but the means michael mounted it really felt so favorable and also gave us such a leap it did that we went for it and we spoke about that for most likely a month and also it truly started our process and also the procedure that we did you understand um we just began we obtained pen to paper as well as began creating a lot of things down yep you know we began creating points down and also um in some cases we'' d write things that contrasted right you understand like the time frame mark would certainly say alright let'' s do this by june 1st and also i'' d resemble i ' m assuming january 1st but we'' d write them both down right to ensure that we had kind of a log of just how we were mosting likely to do it with just how we were feeling ideal you recognize and no established outcome you know and after that we chose extremely clearly as well as i assume this is truly essential that there was mosting likely to be no lobbying with other events so other interested parties like the youngsters or you recognize my mom as well as my father you recognize they were still active and you understand so there was going to be no outdoors lobbying and also i believe that truly helped us you understand the mother-in-law of circumstance and all that it didn'' t entered play yeah it'' s our house it ' s our decision we needed to figure it out but we also established some guideline and also you understand we agreed to pay attention to each various other truly listen we agreed to use empathy and also we consented to share our feelings as well as create them down to make sure that it'' s to ensure that our feelings were heard you understand we also accepted walk away from it if we were locating that it was becoming heated how many times did we ignore it probably 6 or 7 a minimum of um so anyway the initial step so if we truly break this down into steps that would certainly be handy to you the very first step would be taking stock of your situation you understand are you is selling your residence mosting likely to become part of the equation are you looking to relocate locations by a similar home acquire a buy a downsized townhouse or condo and also are you seeking to remain in the same area yeah and afterwards perhaps purchase a smaller house and a second residence some people want a larger house listen there'' s lots of individuals that retire and also they get an increase of cash now it'' s time to acquire that large five-bedroom home five-bath residence so all the children can come and every single time they come they have their very own area to stay you as well as your companion need to figure that out to ensure that'' s the discussion that happens in the start as well as after that once we obtained the location that we make a decision that we'' re okay we are going to market the house we start to do to do an evaluation of our existing home and this was truly excellent i intend to highlight this due to the fact that this is very important i want you guys to write this down because we did we thought about this and we invested all of this time damaging down what we liked regarding the house every little thing we liked concerning this right and after that likewise things that we didn'' t like about the residence that'we didn ' t desire to locate probably in our following house right and also we made you understand i believe we made a must-have checklist i can'' t remember however there ' s things like area and location you understand where do we want the following residence to be what concerning the community do we want a college town do we want a city we wish to rural out in the country what qualities are necessary in your house number of bedrooms we desire an outside fire pit as well as the various other thing is memories this aided us a whole lot right since we did show on the memories in the old house right yet then we began to desire of what kind of memories can we have in this new home right and it truly helped us to understand that we were packing the memories and also taking them with us right they weren'' t part of the old home they weren ' t being left in your home that we were marketing we were bringing them with us yeah we still speak about them that great uh thanksgiving meal we had an outdoor tents in the yard and also we had 50 people over the house that'' s never disappear we wear'' t have to have that home to have that memory right the 2nd point that we did was we started to really establish our priorities on where we were mosting likely to relocate to such as mark said earlier we did a listing of must-haves as well as the must-haves we initially didn'' t settle on and after that we started to make some concessions and afterwards naturally of seeking residential or commercial property or seeking a new place to live our must-haves sort of changed to want checklists or must-haves as well as we experienced this procedure um seven years earlier when we acquired the home we'' re living in now in connecticut we still live down in new york and we acquired a second residence and also it was area and also geography we wanted to walk to town which we have home qualities you understand this house we stay in currently sleeps 16 but there'' s only 3 bedrooms so we have sofas all these locations for the children we desired simple care and also upkeep and after that once again what new memories can we create in this brand-new house and also we created some wonderful ones okay so as well as we didn'' t obtain every little thing on that listing with this residence due to the fact that easy treatment and also update i indicate we purchased a home that was over 300 years of ages that'' s real so um simple care and also upgrade enigma on that particular one so so we were versatile we were yep we were we found adaptability i don'' t assume we started there no however we chose for a staged approach you recognize we had a 2nd home which is our residence in connecticut we had actually acquired it 5 years ago we decided to offer our our residence in brand-new york and as an interim step we rented a three-bedroom condominium in our town where we offered our house in brand-new york due to the fact that we still had two women that were finishing up college weren'' t sure where they were going to get tasks and also the last point you wish to say to your household or liked one is we moved there'' s no place for you yet below'' s things we leased this condominium for two years jody and also i were investing half the moment down there and also need to time up right here the women started to like to come visit us right here versus in brand-new york so at the end of the two-year lease it ended up being really clear we didn'' t requirement that house any longer so when the lease was up we vacated and relocated whatever we had we purged once more appropriate and also uh brought whatever up here yep so i assume it'' s vital to note you know scaling down wasn'' t very easy for us as well as we took interim steps with you know a townhouse and also with storage systems and trying to continue the removing occasions right so with all that behind you you require to make an action strategy and also we did as well as there'' s a lot of things that you require a lot of steps as well as it'can be immobilizing it ' s just can be so difficult but you need to make a checklist as well as keep raking via as well as like jody claimed prior to if you require to pause you take a break you understand if you make some contracts in the start and also truly remain true to them with objective it actually does aid you know begin with your considerable to-do listing call a real estate agent talk regarding offering your residence finding a new one if you'' re moving call a local real estate agent in that area that'' s essential we did we located that to be very important that that really helped us with neighborhood choice and once again we experienced this but set priorities for the new residence your must-haves and some things that are okay and um just start moving on while doing so and you recognize it'' s funny the downsizing of your belongings so of the stuff as well as points um i assumed it was really hard you recognize to do that for your moms and dads you understand since we didn'' t have psychological connections and we'' re attempting
