Is it just about $ or is it a spiritual/environmental impact type concern.
What upkeep is is too much? A/c? Sweeping?
I feel sometimes our large houses are ecological horrors, collectively. It’s not like we are building them. But we are guilty of excess by buying more than we really need.
All this bad environmental impact for walk in closets and unused bedrooms.
Ugh.
But what can I do? Realistically, nothing. My wife wouldnt downsize into a small condo [unless it was on Laguna beach]
my interest rates too low. The payment is right, no HOA, low taxes,
There’s nothing else here shed accept.
Plus like tg says I’d probably not come out ahead financially and I’m definitely not doing a big move for no money.
Basically in the immortal acronym of the wu tang clan, C.R.E.A.M.
So i’ll just live here with a ridiculous increase in square footage per person per day on average.
I feel bad. But then, that’s my way.
Smaller. More efficient. Hard not to fantasize about how beautiful itd be
My a/c is still busted, the savings and guilt assuaging are incredible. Maybe vandalize your own a-c in an easy to fix way for a while..
Bman I’d love a cool tiny little efficient place. With no pool … landscaping does bysoeoe else
Maybe forego downsizing and get an ebike, if it’s bad energy over your carbon footprint, treehuger. A gorgeous mid drive Bosch evoke. I’m gonna go ride it this minute. It’s a good way to hug a tree
Scaredy cat, whose own cats kill too m any birds, just like the evil cats in Franzen’ s book FREEDOM. Ugh.still. I love my little orange puss.
