The price of everything and how to cope with it

[GhiaEB]

I must ask, why a 4x2? 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom not enough for 2 adults?

Even with an upcoming family, that allows for 2 kids, each with a room to theirselves. Or must you have everything you will ever need + more? Do you want the biggest house on the smallest block?

I too am looking to buy in the next year. But I can assure you it will be a 3x1 on the largest block I can get. Houses decrease in value, while land increases.

It's one thing that really gets to me. People complain about the cost of housing, but then build/buy something that is really unnecessary. How may of us grew up in the 70s-80s sharing a room with their sibling? Why do you need a cinema in your home? A lounge room not good enough? Who does study, in their study? It goes on and on.
