Maybe the opposite is true.
I was listening to Dr. Laura Slezenger one day and the lady caller phoned in to explain how she had a new baby and was sad at having to go back to work to help pay for their house.
Dr. Laura asked, “how big is your house”?
“1200 ft.²”
Dr. Laura responded, “how many people live in your household”?
“Three”.
Dr. Laura: “OK even if you lie down and spin around, each of you would only take up 200 ft.² so sell your house and move into something smaller and stay home with your kids”.
This is one of my favourite stories that I tell to clients looking for a new home. Just because you COULD afford to buy a big house doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Just buy what you need. Have more money in your pocket for other goals. Like saving to get an investment or vacation home that you can Airbnb to generate extra income. Don’t fall into the trap of having to keep up with the Joneses.
