you really got a thing for the whole size issue huh? :tremble:

it's not about how big it is, it's about what you do with it......

I've been saying that for years but I wasn't talking about houses. :lol:

it is what it is......we did have largest truck
we did used to sleep in a queen
we did buy a king, woulda been nice to have a CA king.........

sometimes on weekends, we have 2 dogs + 2 kids + us

ZED, yup you can check the R values, and if you wanna upgrade the cheaper house it may come up to be an exp. house.

nobody likes paying taxes, it comes w/ the territory. i pay alot of taxes at work, why would i wanna make more $ then i am now?

our temps can go from below 0 to over 100, sometimes as much as 115 degree swing from winter to summer. I don't know anyone that has bills that low except spring/fall when the windows can be opened.

for me, I've lived in a 30' fifth wheel camper without slideouts before. I don't want or need a large house.

do you want your kids growing up in that?

if that's what I could afford, looks like that's where they would be living. my son and I did live in it when he was pre teen.

peoples mentality today just confuses me.

So raising happy, well adjusted kids has to do with sq footage? Self esteem has more to do with how big your house is, how much money your parents make, or what kind of car you drive. :cool:

I speak from experience. Been there. Done that. It's my idea of heaven! ;)

lol, whoever said that? do you want your kids growing up in a trailer park? vs a home? of any sq ft.

now granted some T/P may be nicer then some hoods, but by in large they're not.

and who's to say "rich" people can't raise well adjusted kids?


IMO parenting has to do more about the people then the $ they make. just cuz people earn good livings doesn't mean they can't be good parents, and vice versa......
