Following up on the topic of small houses, here is a very interesting video on how simple living has a lot to do with comfort, saving money and living happily despite the surroundings.

As an interesting fact, you should know that the “the average size of a home in 2008 is double the size of the average home in the 1950s.” That’s huge. The biggest problem is that families have not gotten any bigger so there’s really no need for all the extra square feet.

Experts believe that the added space is mostly a way for people to feel successful. As families spend more time working and less time enjoying their own lives, having a large home provides the illusion of having more, even if it’s only as a replacement of other loses.
