Does the novelty of purchasing a massive house eventually wear off? Will it really impact the quality of life for a single woman to go from a (contributing lodgered) 70sqm to an 150sqm? I recently started making 3x my previous salary and I'm looking at the houses I could buy, but I wonder if it would be a waste of money to get a huge house just because I ^can^. Will the novelty of buying a large house wear off after the first year? Will having a large house actually satisfy me? I can't seem to find one that meets all my requirements in a way that's 'perfect' to me anyway. I used to work for a very rich woman in a massive £4 million house in London and I feel like I would be underwhelmed after living there for a few months.
