Dear Annie,
I read your newspaper advice column every week. You always give really good advice to people who need your help. Now, I have a problem, so I'm e-mailing you for advice. My family and I live in a big, beautiful house in a great neighborhood. It's located outside the city, in a suburb. There is a large, spacious living room with a nice view of our front yard. In our front yard, there is a garden and a tall pine tree. There are also lots of trees in our back yard. We really like our kitchen with its modern appliances. There are also four bedrooms: one master bedroom for my husband and me, and three smaller bedrooms for our three kids. There is also a basement where we can put things, like our bicycles. Unfortunately, I started a new job last month, and now it takes me over 90 minutes to commute to work. As well, my oldest daughter just started college, and she also spends a lot of time on buses every day. Annie, we love our home, but should we move into a much smaller 3-bedroom apartment closer to downtown - to be closer to work and school? ~Sarah |
