My thoughts too - cramped doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Cramped depends solely on your situation and felt needs. 14 years ago, I lost my job and moved from Michigan to Maryland for a new one. This was during the last recession (depression in Michigan) and we lost almost all the principle and equity on our existing house. We ended up in a small house, about 1100 sq ft. with four kids.
It was tight at times, less so when I was able to finish the basement and add a couple bedrooms down there.
The kids all moved out and frankly, I don’t want anything bigger now. The best part is that the mortgage is very affordable and I’m not tied down to having to decide whether to eat or pay my mortgage.
