so what do you consider exp?

2000 isn't small to most people, unless you have a thousand indoor hobbies to house.

And cheap houses built in the 70's with really small rooms. :shrug:

My parents sold the house not to long ago, but I guess they took down the listing. I was gonna post it up so you didn't think I was lying. :lol:

Anything over $300 month for power/water/gas













easy for me to say - I have spring water

I understand that, but people only take up as much room as you allow them. I raised my son in 800 sq ft house. He had his room, I had mine. One TV, one bathroom, one kitchen. I was the adult in the house that decided things. My kid didn't run the house, I did. Sure, it was small, but I had a good sized yard which I grew flowers and he played. It was also what I could afford and pay bills in.

We rent here in KC. The gas bills runs me $300 bucks a month in the winter. The duplex is 500 sq feet and the thermostat never goes over 67 degrees. Air cond. is costing 150 a month, at 80 degrees. All depends on where you live, I guess.

ok, if you could have afforded more, would you have moved to a bigger nicer neighborhood?

i think we pay $300-325/mos for all our bills gas/elec/water, adn this was last month, w/ 100+ deg temps everyday, and Z at home w/ the AC cranked. thats for cuttle.........and we have a 3400+ sq ft house. so we prolly pay alot less then fleck in bills throughout the yr........so who's wasting?

Probably not. I'm not much into neighborhoods, just a nice sized yard. I like living in town, but hate neighbors. Doesn't matter how nice the houses are, there are always poopheads that inhabit them, regardless of how much money they make. :hangman:

ok, same neighborhood, same everything, what would you want for your family, 800sq ft or 2500?

Now imagine the money you could save by having a smaller house....

There is a difference between 2000 and 3500..... (a whole house for the average person)

800. I hate cleaning. :D No, really.

The whole point of raising children is getting them out of the house. If it's a small house, they'll move out sooner. :p
