My house in excessive but it was an investment when we moved here and also used money we made on the sale of previous homes. The main level is (it's a ranch) 2,700 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with all the usual rooms and a library as a bonus feature. The master bedroom hasas space for a sitting area with 2 stuffed chairs and a fireplace. 1,400 sq. ft. of the basement is finished and includes a yoga studio for up to five students and a full-sized pool table in a bar area. It is way too much space for two people but is sure nice to have in the winter.
I think you adapt to whatever space you have. We've lived in much smaller over the years with more family members at home. In moving we have lived in small apartments for 2-3 months while the moving process was under way so I understand the other extreme. And when we first started out many years ago we lived in a 10 x 50 foot trailer and moved up in house sizes over the years.
I do think you tend to stay home more when you have a larger living space and probably venture out more with a smaller space. Smaller spaces are also more likely to be in city settings where the larger spaces tend to be suburban or country so that may have something to do with my theory, at least from my experience.
