Question: Should I risk everything and move for love or stay where I am?  I'm nearly 34, never married and no children.  My financial worth has taken an enormous hit over last year. My father has been ill and has no health insurance, and the value of my house has taken a huge hit like many others. I was also laid off for six months.  I'm under stress and trying to sell my house. I am thinking of lowering the price by $25k but will only walk away with about $50k.  If I move I have an offer for a great job, plus a loyal and devoted boyfriend who makes a good income. We've been very good friends for a long while. He keeps hinting that he's 35 and is ready to start a family and tells me I'd make a great mom.

My problem is that I can't leave until I sell my house. Should I drop the price and get on with my life or should I wait until I sell it for the price I want?

Answers:
Ms. Mystery: First of all, you are more focused on the money than you are on him. At first I thought you didn't love him, and he loved you and it's easier for you to just be with him after all the misery you've been through lately. But now I'm guessing

that you've seen so much stress and misery lately that you're used to it. Change can be hard, even when it is for the better. Why are you asking us anyway? This is a no-brainer. Drop the price of the house and go live your life and be happy. You could miss out on everything if you wait. Life is short so don't waste another minute.    

Mr. Know: This is not rocket science. Why don't you ask you boyfriend for advice? Do you want to marry this guy or not? Do you want to have his babies or not? You spend more time worrying about the house than whether you really want to marry this guy. If you do want to move, you might want to stay with your boyfriend while you're still selling you house. You see like you're even in love with this guy. You're giving me a headache. Hopefully you're not giving yourself a headache. Determine what you truly want and the answers will be easy. Good luck and Godspeed.
