[quote=spdrun]”Needs” can include future needs. If you’re planning on kids in the next 5-10 years, go for a 3/1 or 3/2, IF you can afford it comfortably with your current income. If you can’t, how the hell are you going to afford kids in the first place? 🙂

I lived with my parents and grandparents for few years in a farm house that had no running water (consequently no washer) until about a year after I was born. I know first hand that a family of N can survive in a small house with no traditional bathroom.
To this day I get sentimental when I sense grass blades on my tushy, but most of the time I prefer my current 0.8 baths per capita living arrangement.
Also, your one offspring won’t be enough to sustain the human race, so I’m simply offsetting your lack of commitment to the needs of the specie.
