[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone's definition of comfortable is different. Some people are comfortable driving a Subaru or Ford. I would shoot myself. Some people think 4000 sqft house is needed to be comfortable. That's way too big for me. Op, your question is unanswerable [/quote]

This is a good point. Our house is less than 2000 sq ft and I wouldn’t want anything else. My husband drives a Porsche and I drove a Honda. We live close in and make almost 300K, max out retirement and 529’s, and seriously feel like we have more leftover money every month than we know what to do with!  Neither of us have expensive hobbies, we hardly spend anything on clothes, and do a lot of thrift store shopping. My bedroom dressers were my moms growing up (beautiful wood that I refinished - they def don’t make them like that anymore!) and all of the kids dressers I got for free off Craigslist or for super cheap. My bed frame and my daughters were giveaways on our local listserv. 
It all depends on what you feel you “need” and the things you like to do. And if you’re ok with second hand furniture and things like that. [/quote]
