Life isn’t all about staying still. As we move on into different phases of life, our lifestyle changes accordingly. And as we aspire to build a better life for us and our families, we would be upsizing what we own as well.
Here, we focus on when you should upsize your house and your car – likely two of the most valuable things you would own. Before taking the upsizing plunge however, you should take stock of your financial situation and decide if you can afford it. If your finances allow it, taking the plunge will lead to a more comfortable, elevated quality of life.
1. Your Family is Growing
One of the most common reasons for upsizing is family. The equation is simple: more people equals more space needed. When you welcome children into your life, you will naturally need more space to raise them.
Thus, it will make more sense to upsize your car as well as your living space. You will need more rooms to accommodate the little ones, as well as cargo space in the car to move them about.
2. Your Finances are Improving
If you can afford to upsize your home right now, it might be a good idea to do so. Doing it now will get the stress of moving out of the way, and you can still keep the house even if your finances aren’t looking so good a few years down the line.
To mitigate that, you can rent out your previous home for some steady income. At the same time, you may also want to upsize your car, especially if you’ve been using it for some time. Getting a car upgrade means less headaches down the road while getting a more comfortable ride with the advances in automotive technology.
3. Your Priorities Have Changed
Right now, working from home is fast becoming the norm. Some people find telecommuting much more preferable to working in the office, preferring to work in their pyjamas while being no less productive.
If you are one of them, you might want to consider adding an extra room to your house so you can work more effectively. According to Christena Nippert-Eng, a sociologist and professor at Indiana University, Bloomington, dividing work and life between different areas of the house is a good strategy to adopt to reduce work stress.
At the same time, you might want to reconsider the use of your car. If you’re upsizing your home, this might be a good time to consider ‘resizing’ your car. You may consider switching to a smaller runabout for errands close to home, or even get rid of the car altogether.
