I too have to say that "down-sizing" is a freeing thing. I used to be a collector of "stuff" and when we bought here we down-sized by at least 1/2 the size of house. It was great fun to purge!!!
Once in a great while I will think we "need" some more space....for what?...to add more "stuff"?! Why do I want to do that...just so the kids can go through it and get rid of it?? We have a 3 b/r and it's adequate for company too. Our company isn't abundant and if it's too "comfortable" maybe they'll stay too long. My idea of entertaining has also "down-sized" over the years. I LOVE this retirement thing and my other 1/2 does as well. To have, is to maintain!!!
