When couples disagree about downsizing their home in retirement

My wife wants to keep our big house because it's our home and where we raised our kids, but our retirement savings won't cover the property taxes and maintenance costs for more than a few years. We're both afraid of making the wrong choice and we keep talking past each other about what 'home' even means when we can't afford it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
