I've owned a two-seater sports car and a mega-purpose SUV - both cost about the same. Loved both vehicles! Trying to compare the two vehicles from a cost/benefit analysis, at least for me, just didn't cut it, as they both filled my needs, physically and emotionally, at the time.

A home is an emotional/psychological place, as well as being a substantive facility of quantifiable logistics. The real question is: where do you FEEL the most comfortable?

There's a great TV commercial by the Steak and Shake chain where they describe how they make a milkshake by hand, and while that may not be the most efficient way to make one, the question is "have you ever heard anybody taste a milkshake and say, boy, that tastes 'efficient' ?"

When all is said and done, trust your heart, not your calculator, in the making of a "life" choice....
