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

Roof, new septic, new furnace, new water heaters and pretty soon you are spending 30-50 grand more than you thought you’d have to.

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

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

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.

Obviously. It is a function of income, time, and your personal utility curve

Baron

5/24/19 7:01pm

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

bluecougar1985

Time is always a factor.

Baron

5/24/19 8:31pm

Not always

bluecougar1985

5/24/19 8:39pm

And that income takes time.

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

bluecougar1985

Extra work was my point.

Baron

5/25/19 10:56am

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

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?

bluecougar1985

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

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

Lip Gallagher

Didn’t “have to”, wanted to...

CoachSpeak

5/24/19 6:13pm

Humble brags come in many forms. Same thing. 🙂

Lip Gallagher

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

Lip Gallagher

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.

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

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