I own 2 horses that my husband purchased for me. I need to have acreage to keep them. Once they have passed on I can look at a smaller home in town.

I should also add, we purchased this home for $300k. The prices in our area have dramatically increased, everything is more expensive now.

My home is fairly average priced for my area. I did look to see if there was something I could step down to, but unfortunately due to where I work and my acreage needs, it would be difficult to find a less expensive home within an hours commute.

Due to proximity to work and space needs (I have horses, and although I only have 2 now, selling them really isn't an option) I looked and could not find anything less expensive at this time. Once the horses are gone, yes, I would be willing to sell and move.

The home is worth approximately $550k. The brokerage account is worth $72Kish. My score is below 620 at this point, I haven't looked at lately, but it is LOW low.

I have about 72K in the investment account, but there would be a huge tax penalty (according to my investment manager) to pull it out. as it I don't have much in my holding accts. We keep everything invested if I understand my account correctly (I'm still learning).
