My family of 7 moved from a 6-bedroom home in Salt Lake City to a 3-bedroom apartment in NYC. Our cost of living went up, but it's worth it.

We lived in an older house, so we had to do a lot of updating to get it ready for the market, sell it, and get it under contract. We moved from a six-bedroom home to a three-bedroom apartment, so we really had to downsize - everything from furniture and lawn tools to our two cars had to go. I decreased all of our clothing to a quarter of what we had.
