Real Estate and Property Thread

Does anyone here watch Tiny House Nation? House downsizing series that is basically a middle finger to lifetime mortgage commitments in the USA. I don't think I'll ever be able to go as small as those guys but it does remind me about the value of right sizing. Personally, having a nice, big house loses its luster pretty quickly when you have to pay most of your working life's spoils on it.

i watch Paolo from Tokyo's series of "A day in the life of a Japanese xxxx". it usually starts with the subject waking up in the morning in his/her living space. their living quarters are very small. watching it, just gives me reason to appreciate our bigger dwellings here.

i suppose,
the satisfaction and enjoyment come after the last payment.
it's like, after so many years, i suddenly reealize that... "hey! i still have this amount of money at the end of the month! now, what shall i do with it..."
