!homeowners would you rather stay in your slightly too small unglamorous house which you'll pay off completely within 7 years, or move to a much bigger more glamorous dream home, with a way bigger but still affordable mortgage for another 20 years?
I just don't know what people do in these situations.
I want the house but I don't want the added risk a bigger mortgage comes with. I.e. would need to build up bigger emergency fund despite having bigger outgoings.
I don't like my current house but I do like the idea of having no mortgage outgoings in 7 years.
What would you do or what have you done when faced with this decision?

I love my house but I wish the master bathroom was like 50cm bigger in both directions. The cost per cm of upgrading to a bigger house isn't worth it. I'm staying put.
