[quote=Anonymous]We bought our starter home 20 years ago at the height of the bubble, and then our mortgage went underwater for 10 years. It made us think really differently about real estate. We have stayed in that tiny house and raised our son here - he is 16 now and we will stay at least until he is well into college, probably beyond. Having a lower mortgage than we could afford has given us so much freedom. We ended up sending the kid to private school, and because our neighborhood is working class the other houses and families are not keeping up with any fancy Joneses. We do have friends over! Some of them live in multi-million dollar homes. I don’t enjoy visiting small homes less, so I won’t think less of my friends by assuming they would. I agree with the gardener above - you can make a lovely back yard. My town’s garden tour had a town home on it this year, and everything was done with reclaimed materials. It was artsy and lovely and cozy.[/quote]
