You got that right. We downsized from 2500 sq ft to 1900 sq ft ten years ago... not enough storage, we had to add on.

We downsized from 3000sf to 1500sf...not enough storage so we got rid of everything we didn't need or didn't use. We discovered that much of our time, money and effort in the big place was a waste that should have gone into savings and retirement. Although we're doing fine, we realise now that we probably wasted several hundred thousand or more on space, premium cars and other things we didn't need or use
I give you credit for admitting it. I see my friends buying new vehicles every 2 or 3 years while my wife's car is 12 years old and my pickup is 8. They buy boats or other toys and growl at the finance companies for gouging them...
We both work out of our home. One reason space is an issue.
I like the way you think. You've inspired me for the new year. Thanks!
