[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids will be able to go to any college they get into and graduate without debt. I hope when they are young adults they will realize what an amazing gift that is.

I doubt my kids will go into adulthood feeling deprived of a huge house. We are moving soon from a 1500sq ft house to a 2500 Sq ft house. We are gaining an office, a true guest room instead of a pull out sofa in the play room, and a 2nd bathroom upstairs. That’s all we needed. We looked at 4000 Sq ft homes and in each one there were rooms or large spaces we wouldn’t use daily or even weekly.

Finishes and decor can be changed and upgraded slowly over time - and often for less money than if you try to do it all at once.

Ready the book “the not so big house” and make your house just right for you. [/quote]

We’re a family of 4 (soon 5) in a 2,500 sq ft house and it really is perfect space. Enough that we have a dedicated office and guest room. Our same sex kids will have to share a room until oldest goes to college, but kids have survived way worse than bunk beds. I love it because it’s not more than I care to clean (I don’t need more bathrooms to clean than people that live here!). And when we need to replace thing like roof, windows, etc. over time at least we don’t have some sprawling 5k feet to maintain.

Also, it got us in our #1 choice neighborhood so we feel like we lucked out.

With some work, almost any house can be made nice (enough). But you can’t move the land under it.[/quote]
