[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks who think as you get older you need less space are young and foolish. I was also that way. My house I just bought in my mid 50's as a trade up home is 6,100 square feet, the house across the street sold a few weeks ago to a couple early 50s that is 7,000 square feet. Your fifties and sixties you need the most square footage.

My kids are not 12, 17 and 18. All at once I am hitting the car phase. Right now three cars, one more to come, Hitting dating phase while still in playdate phase. Hitting phase where friends from college come visit and in-laws too old to drive home late stay over. If anything I should have got around 7,000 square feet with a three car garage instead of two.

I have the three kids in a 1,400 square foot house with a one car driveway up till two years ago. Coming up in next 15 years I will host college graduations, engagement showers, weddings, baby showers, meeting new inlaws and son-in-laws for first time. Folks judge. I need room. When kids are little none of that happens. Then you hit mid 70s or so and it starts to slow down as that phase is behind [/quote]

You can make 1400 square feet work, but why would you want to? Live a little [/quote]
this attitude is bizarre to me. You can't "live" unless you have a house that's bigger than 3x the US average? [/quote]

You can't understand why people want more than the bare minimum  :roll: [/quote]

People always want more than they have.  Doesn’t mean that it’s healthy for the individual or the environment.[/quote]
