The thought of living in a small house may not be for everyone, and if you want to build a large house, that is fine. However, the point here is trying to be wise on every expenditure that you will do. Think of the pros and cons of living in a big house versus a small, simple house. Yet, by the end of the day, you’re the one who will still call the shots.

“Bigger is always better” – it really depends on the person
The society and the media may have imposed on everyone that bigger is better. But that is not really always the case. Well, not for everyone. To find a better way of maximizing your money being spent in house building, you need to realize the right questions to yourself. For instance:

How many rooms do you need?
What should be their size?
Do you need to put a bathroom per room or no?
Do you need really need a bigger space?
You may think you need a bigger space because you have formal dining events twice or thrice a year. But wouldn’t it be better if you rent function rooms in a hotel or rent a space in a restaurant for those required yearly events?
Now think of the money you will save from construction, utility, furniture, maintenance costs, et cetera. This type of question is helpful to determine how many square meters do you need to meet your house requirements.

Note this; there’s a significant difference in what you need and what you can afford. Both may be essential, and there is nothing wrong with buying more than you need. Nevertheless, always be analytical and make a conscious .
