My husband and I are childfree and we have a cat. As fonts are aware, we are purchasing a home.
Though I like the idea of living in a large house, my husband and I do not see the need for it. We aren't having kids and as long as we have 3 bedrooms and at least 1.5 bathrooms, we will have more than enough space to live in.
A larger house means higher utility bills, especially since we are moving to an area where winter lasts about 7 months. Though my husband and I can afford a large home in the area we are moving to, we don't want to pour all of our extra income into a house. We still want to be able to save and enjoy activities. I have seen too many young people buy huge houses but not have enough money for furniture or even new clothes. My husband and I are not about that house poor life. Nah sah.
At the same time, we don't want a tiny house either. We have seen some very small houses with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Those houses would be very hard to sell and feel too cramped for my husband and I.
What do you think? Should we buy more house than we need? Why or why not?
