Why is living simply and within your needs viewed negatively?

Meanwhile, having $1000 worth of throw pillows that are purely decorative, is some sort of achievement?

FWIW I live alone in a 2bed/1bath condo that's 1100 sq ft, and people tell me my place is 'too small' and I need a 3+bed/2+bath place that's like 1500sqft. Baffles me. and by people I mean, mostly women. Most men think my place is plenty spacious and great.

The house I grew up in was 1200 sq ft with 5 people. Blows my mind that the apartment I own is basically the same size as a house, but apparently unless I live in a McMansion sized space, I 'have issues'.

Rooms I have in my house that I need/want

  • master bedroom
  • master bath
  • bedroom for kid
  • guest bedroom
  • secondary/guest bathroom.
  • room for my office
  • room for wife's office
  • some room for laundry (garage would suffice)
  • living room
  • dining room
  • kitchen
  • storage/craft/gym/tools

But maybe I'm just later on in my housing journey cause I used to be able to survive in a tiny area but now I have a wife and a kid. I don't know if I could go to a tiny apartment without something really tragic happening in my life

No bathrooms beyond the one in the master suite? You do you...

LOL, I shouldn't reply before coffee - my brain somehow read that line as "secondary/guest bedroom"

It happens, I had to look at it twice too
