Is bigger better?

 I have been reading up on small houses.  Some of them are have less than 400 square feet of living space. I can see some advantages:

1.  A small house is generally less expensive than a bigger one which could mean more money for travel and vacations or being able to work fewer hours. 

2.  Heating and cooling would cost less.

3. It costs less to furnish a small house. 

4.  It would be hard to accumulate too much stuff. A person would have to make decisions and only hang onto things that they really need or really love because there wouldn’t be space to store extra stuff.

Most people buy the biggest house that they can afford or even bigger.  Occasionally I meet people who want less but not very often.
