I live in a 2500 square feet house with my wife and dog. It's way too big. We don't use 2 of our living rooms (3 living rooms total) or one of the bedrooms (has a couch and a TV in it, essentially a fourth living room). We could go down to 1000 square feet and be fine. Our old apartment was 700 square feet and it was fine. I don't require much space at all. The reason we bought a house this size was the price difference. When a house half the square feet is only $150 a month difference, it doesn't make sense to not pay that little extra every month and have a house worth a ton more.
