Of course it does change a lot. A home can be depressing, if not somehow nice. The question is, what is enough for me and what do I want? A small car in a cty would be enough. I would prefer an expensive car with a huge load of horse power, though. $100000 for a small house is quite expensive while one which is 4 times as big wouldn't be $400000 but like $250000 at max. A small home should be something you enjoy or something which isn't just enough but also somehow nice.
