We bought a big house 2 years ago, in a bit of a rush. Bad move. Once our kiddo is grown a bit, we plan to sell and either go back to the wonderful apartment life, or buy a very small 1 story house. Less to clean sounds pretty amazing right now :) The fact that you won't change much once you're debt free speaks volumes - it sounds like you guys are pretty happy with the changes you've made.

I'd much rather have the time to enjoy the life I have than work long hours to make money to spend it on stuff I don't even have time to enjoy. And really, do all those expensive things make your life all that better? I'm not really sure I'd enjoy those things that much anyhow. A big house mean more cleaning. An expensive car means more worrying about it getting scratched. My husband and I enjoy our life just fine without a television or McMansion or luxury car. In fact, we're enjoying life even more now that we've gotten rid of a lot of the crap we bought. If only getting rid of the debt from buying those things was so easy! But, fortunately, that's only a matter of time and patience at this point! My husband and I have even talked about what we'd do when we were debt free, but we've realized that we don't really want to change much at all! It'll be nice to have more financial security, but we have no plans to clutter our home up again. Sounds like a better life to me!
