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'.
Just cut em off with "not interesting" middle sentence :)
