Definitely a good decision. Our house in Virginia was 9000 square feet...with 7 bathrooms. There is NO special place in heaven for someone that cleans that many toilets. Why I ever thought that was important is beyond me, but at one point I did or I wouldn't have bought that house. Great house to raise kids in but a nightmare to upkeep (we had a one-acre lot). Love my new less-than 3000 square feet home! It forced us to get rid of a lot of stuff and in the process we got the opportunity to redefine what is truly valuable to us. We feel lighter and less weighed down. As for the utility bills...don't even get me started! We love love love having a smaller home and don't miss any of the furniture we never used and the carpets we never really walked on.
