As the motto says, "less is more".
A friend of mine who is 56 years old sometimes says, "I miss my big house back in NY".
I keep reminding her that she won't be jumping out of bed when she is in her 70"s saying, "great, I get to clean this big house".
Staying humble and being thankful what one has, makes one happy, as opposed to always wanting more which is a never ending quest.
BTW - She is a happy person.
