Driving through some nice neighborhoods in Orem. Huge beautiful homes, tiny lots

I love having a yard big enough for my kids to play in. Worth the extra work.j

Big home and big yards are overrated

Give me 2000 - 2500 square feet on 1/3 - 1/2 acre any day over a big house.

A large yard seems like more work than a large house to me.

Nah I think they are properly rated

And that is why people have to work until 60plus. Mainly because of their home.

Baron

5/24/19 5:28pm

I like mine...

CoachSpeak

5/24/19 5:54pm

I said large homes.

Baron

5/24/19 5:57pm

I’m 52 and can retire at any time I want...

CoachSpeak

5/24/19 6:01pm

It applies just as well. It is a math problem. It cost you time.

Baron

5/24/19 6:17pm

Not if that wasn’t what I wanted and was looking to do...

CoachSpeak

5/24/19 6:25pm

That math problem depends on income.

Baron

My point was it may not have cost him any time.

5/24/19 8:20pm

Time is always a factor.

Baron

5/24/19 8:31pm

Not always

5/24/19 8:39pm

And that income takes time.

Not extra time in regards to retirement, which was your argument.

5/25/19 10:51am

Extra work was my point.

Baron

5/25/19 10:56am

How would that create extra work before retirement in the example I provided?

5/25/19 12:27pm

You have to work to meet expensee. Every expense you have makes you work that much longer

Baron

5/25/19 12:32pm

You can’t be serious, right?

5/25/19 1:05pm

Not necessarily...

CoachSpeak

5/25/19 1:40pm

I treat everything as an expense lesuire etc. You have to decide what you want and how long it

Baron

5/25/19 2:01pm

Yeah, his humble abode (which he had to list the sq ft on) isn't large.

5/24/19 6:05pm

Didn’t “have to”, wanted to...

CoachSpeak

5/24/19 6:13pm

Humble brags come in many forms. Same thing. 🙂

5/24/19 6:15pm

Sure, take it however you want to take it...

CoachSpeak

5/24/19 6:19pm

Took it exactly how we all know you intended it

5/24/19 6:21pm

You sound jealous...

CoachSpeak

5/24/19 6:26pm

I think it’s weird when couples in their 60s build big homes and claim it’s for their grandchildren...

Brisco

5/24/19 6:09pm

I find that odd as well...

CoachSpeak

5/24/19 6:18pm

Isn't that what the 6500 sf "cabin" is for?

ryebrye

5/24/19 7:13pm

Good point...

CoachSpeak

5/24/19 7:22pm

Big yards are the best "character builder" you can have for kids.

LCcoug

5/24/19 6:37pm

No way. Where else are you supposed to get your self-esteem from?

CrimWalCoug

5/24/19 6:37pm

Just know that if you buy an older home with more land you can factor in new

buckeyecougarguy

If you are walking distance from a school or park it alleviates the need
