What’s up with house shaming people for wanting a larger house? That's so judgy. When researching this post, and just talking to people in general about new houses, I’ve run across tons of derogatory statements about larger houses and people who want to live in them. House shaming people for living in, or building larger houses, is far more common than house shaming folks who like small houses.
Just like smaller houses, larger houses have some disadvantages, but there are also advantages to living in a larger house. My feeling is… to each his own. If you like a smaller house, cool. Build a small house. If you want a larger house, and you have the budget to build it, that’s okay too.
Last week we talked about the pros of living in a smaller house. This week, we’ll go over the pros of living in a larger house. Yes, despite what you’ve heard in the media, there are advantages to living in a larger house.
