that takes on her perception. She's not telling you not to buy a big house. She is just expressing her views that it would be a mistake for her. Prime example- I think too many parents invest in sports over church, I think my children need to know church comes first. I think it could lead to a diminished level of commitment. Others don't agree and believe that it's not a big deal or even at a young age kids should decide for themselves. That's okay- I'm not going to say I think they are wrong unless for some reason they ask me directly.
