We went from a house of over 2000 sq ft, large garage and yard to a house that's barely 1400 sq ft. Yes, we maybe could have had a larger house but didn't want the job of cleaning it and "filling" it. VERY happy with what we have and the life-style it affords us. I also much more care for how we've become more minimalist (sp??) in living!! It is very "freeing"!! Besides, it will save our kids the job of going through and getting rid of all the "stuff".
