Last year we moved from a huge house in the boonies to a shoebox in a prime location. We still don&#x27;t miss having the extra space. We spend 99% of our time at home in the family room just like we did before, and the small house is much easier to maintain.<p>Also, having a lot of living space makes it hard not to stealthily accumulate junk. I had always prided myself on not doing this, but when we moved we ended up filling an entire 8&#x27;x30&#x27; dumpster with crap we no longer had room for and didn&#x27;t really need.
