450 is not required. For thousands of years nobody but the top .0001% had that kind of space.
The biggest myth is that each kid needs their own room.
The second is that you need a guestroom.
Then you have kitchen + dining room, then huge garages to store all kinds of crap.
- checkyoursudo 8y agoWe ended up in our current house because my wife wanted a large enough dining room, a spacious kitchen, and a guest room. The kitchen is much bigger than necessary, though certainly nice to use. We do use the dining room a lot, but only for eating as a family and not entertaining much, unlike how she imagined. What we had in smaller houses would have sufficed. The guest room was used once, and may never be used again as a guest room. The people she imagined would stay end up staying in hotels instead. It would have been cheaper as a proportion of the cost of our house to buy a cheaper house and to set that money aside and pay for hotels for our guests ourselves. But that's life. My life, anyway. Live and learn.
