Default Affordability and house you chose

There has been some debate about golf course lots being worth the money.
A lot of people talk about "if you can afford it, do it."

I really don't think affordability is the main issue.

One of the benefits of "right sizing" is many of us do not want to
spend what we can "afford."
We are leaving bigger, more expensive houses where a significant
"Nest egg" has been tied up. And one of the positives is that we DO NOT want
to spend a large portion of that on our retirement home.

So in some cases it is truly a matter of wanting a nice house that works
But where we can bank a size able amount and still be happy with our choice.

I'm not against golf course lots or spending $ on other important things,
Just that it isn't always affordability.

Just some thoughts as we wait to sell our house and move to T.V.
