My parents have recently divorced and I chose to stay with dad. Our family home was quite big, with a yard, patio,… now my dad rents a studio - we have living room, kitchen, bedroom (1 room) + bathroom + balcony. I actually really love it, it’s very cozy, intimate, nicer location, easier to clean, less clutter…
Absolutely. Smaller homes are easier to care for, as you mentioned, leaving more time to enjoy life. I also think that smaller homes make the things you own more special, because you have to carefully decide what to keep due to space constraints.
Definitely. Plus for a person like me who hates being alone, it’s really great, hahaha
I love being alone and I wouldn’t want a huge place either. I can keep my thermostat at 61°F/16°C all winter in the evenings and stay nice and toasty on my heated mattress pad next to my dogs. It keeps the gas bill to a minimum even in a colder climate in a house with 100-year-old windows.
