Oh yeah, I guess that's smart though...No need to have a house that's far too big for ones needs, although that tends to be what everyone wants these days...More. Consumerism at its finest.

The main thing is to be happy with what one has, and work around a need-based ethos rather than its ugly cousin the want-based ethos.

Seems like you've landed in a situation that you're making the best of now.

Thanks for replying.
