So I have a big milestone coming up next weekend. My wife and I are spending the weekend cleaning, painting, and preparing our house to go on the market. We are going to be listing it approximately 10% below where we bought it just two years ago. Realistically to sell it in this market will mean losing our life savings. Quite literally we will walk out of this with next to no money. We will lose 10 years worth of scrimping and saving. Not to mention we will be leaving behind a dream house at the end of a cul-de-sac in a great school district. This is the house I planned to die in. I thought we were in it for the next 40-50 years.
Anyway, I imagine I have to go guns ablazing at selling the house right? If I drag my feet that will anger my wife. I need to accept that my life's work (from a financial perspective) is gone and just move on right?
