It's in a good area with great local schools but it's up for £1.6m, which is several hundred thousand £ above my max budget. I would need to sell my house and then raise at least another £600k, and then take on a sizeable mortgage.
Life has various stages, in all of which I have done reasonably well. But financially speaking I have hit a wall and I just don't see how I can take the next leap upwards. I'm in a house that, to all intents and purposes, is OK for our needs but I'm not happy with the local schools for our kids, and frankly I'm a little bored and want a change.
It seems to have been fairly easy to reach this point in my life, but the next step means talking in many hundreds of thousands or £1m+ and that just seems to be an impossible task. You can't get there working for someone else or contracting even at decent rates.
Perhaps I should just be happy with my lot.
P.S. dunno why I'm telling you lot, just had to get it off my chest I guess.
