Assuming you can afford whatever you like. Is there a psychological limit, or something that would make you draw a line in the sand?
$1 million? $10 million? $20 million? |

| I wouldn't buy any house that is too big to take care of. I don't want to have staff - so if it's too much maintenance, then I'm out. Prob around $2.5-3 million in the area. |

LOL. That's still a 6000+ sf home! |

| No line for me. If money is no object I would probably spread the money over multiple properties in different locations - but I'd go pretty big. |

| Probably $1 million. I'd opt for smaller, nicer homes. I'd prefer 2-3 smaller houses as opposed to one huge one. And honestly, I wouldn't spend near $1 million in other areas of the country. |

| The psychological limit for me would be based on size. We have 2 kids and don't need or want a large number of bedrooms. If we could find our 4 bedroom dream house in a great location there would be no real upper price limit assuming unlimited finances. |

| 3 mil. We are looking at retirement in NYC, a two bdrm apt in Manhattan with a monthly maintenance under 3k per month. |
