It presents both the economic as well as psychological arguments for having a smaller house, and also includes a host of examples of houses that are not humongous, but are very well-designed. It is amazing how an intelligently designed house can look extremely beautiful, be extremely functional, and cost much less than a cookie-cutter house or even a large mansion.

Eventually a primary residence should be paid in full, but the costs don’t stop there. I couldn’t really enjoy a big house (no matter how nice) if I knew it was steadily and aggressively chipping away at my net worth.
