I feel like you consistently hear about people growing older, their children moving out, as well as then downsizing to a smaller place.
It’s just the natural progression of things when your family is no longer under the same roof as well as you do not need that much house to yourself, then somehow, my mom did not get the message.
Even though all of her adolescents are grown as well as moved out of the house, for some reason, she is living in a greater house than ever. My buddy and I never had as much dwelling or as much household as my mom does now, all on her own. She is 60 years old as well as living on a small horse farm. Her house is quite spacious as well as it seems like it would create a lot of problems. First of all, I’m not sure why she wants to keep up with cleaning that sizable of a space. Secondly, she says that her utility bills are outrageous because the cost of heating a giant space like that is honestly significant. She said that the insulation in the house is not great as well as even though she is replaced all of the windows with double-pane insulated glass, she feels many freezing drafts coming from the outside. I feel like she is paying as well as heating up a particularly sizable household when she can only occupy a single room at a time, as well as maybe she should start with downsizing her heating space. That’s why I, for Christmas this year I’m getting her zone controlled heating as well as cooling, whether she likes it or not. If she won’t downsize her house, then I shall downsize the workload for her Heating as well as Air Conditioning system.
