This is on my mind for an obvious reason: The SO and I are currently in the market for a home after renting for too many years.
So, how much space do you have?
We're likely going to end up in a condo or a small house. We're hoping to get a bit more space, especially if we have a kid or two in the next five years.
Currently, our space is 716 square feet. That's 358 square feet per person. We'd like a bit more--maybe 900 if we can swing it, making it 450 square feet per person, or 300 when we have a kid. Though we might end up with anything between 700 and 800 total.
- Do you feel you have enough space?
- Where do you draw the line at "too much space"?
- What is a good minimum?
- What factors influence your needs and wants on space?
I have some difficulty answering these, as I'm used to small spaces: I grew up in a big family, and now I have a small-ish apartment. Help me figure out my own answers by sharing with me.
