per person have you got more or less space in your home than growing up?

more , less people

Less, I grew up in a big 6 bed detached house in a small rural town. Now we live in a 4 bedroom terraced city house.

Slightly more space - I grew up in a 4 bed detached farmhouse, now own 4 bed semi with two lounges and a study
one more person
but my childhood home would be worth more than my current home, detached character.

Less. Bigger house but more people.

Much more.

That was a good salary then.

More. I think my childhood home was possibly bigger, but there were 5 of us there and only 3 here.

Waaaay less space same number of people. Childhood home was a huge old 6 bed detached surrounded by paddock & fields. my modern terrace is about the size of the garaging
Dad was a CEO of a big city firm so earned a lot of money whereas DH & I earn modest salaries in non-corporate industries (NFP & trade)

Less space

Loads more! One of 5 kids, 2 parents, and grandparent lived with us. 2 bedrooms for most of my childhood, then 3. By that time oldest brother had joined the navy - 3 girls in one room, youngest brother shared with grandfather. Never had my own room until I bought a flat at 22.

DCs always had their own room. Now just two of us and 4 bedrooms.

Possibly slightly less now. Bit difficult to say as I’m part of a blended family so it depended on who was around. By the time I was DS’s age there was just me and the parents, so I would have had more space then than a year earlier.

More people and less space - 4 beds and 3 receptions but growing up had 5 massive beds and 4 reception rooms that were all bigger than our current home. Parents had one main income with my dm doing part time work for pin money. Dh and I work full time in good jobs but can afford less.

More, quite a bit more.

Ever so slightly more. 4 of us in a 3 bed growing up, 6 of us in a 5 bed now, but an extra reception room and slightly bigger garden (50% bigger, but not big!) swings it.

More. More people too. Have been fortunate.

More, because I live on my own. My flat's small enough to qualify as a "tiny home" but my parents' house was average, family was large!

Growing up was 4 of us in a 3 bed semi. Smaller kitchen but large lounge/diner me and my brother both had decent sized bedrooms.

I now have 2 kids so 4 of us until recently we lived on same estate as my parents but in a slightly smaller house albeit a 3 bed link detached - 2 double bedrooms and a teeny box room that my youngest had. However we’ve recently moved into a 3 storey 4 bed townhouse and now have way more space. We all have bigger bedrooms and more than 1 toilet is a bonus!!

Smaller house but only 3 of us instead of the 5 of us in my childhood home.

Less. Less than home and less than school.

Much less but also less people.

I wouldn't ever choose a house that big though, because you only need so many dining rooms, so things like the formal dining room for larger parties would just sit unused for months on end, along with the everyday one as we all ended up eating at the table in the kitchen (which was bigger than my first flat).

You can have too much space.
Much easier to heat my current home & way cheaper to run.

Much more.

Much more.

We have less space than I did growing up. Grew up in a 4 bed house with 2 bathrooms.
Now I live in a 2 bed flat with 4 children.

Much more
Grew up in a 3 bed semi, 2 adults and 3 children.

Now 4 bed detached, was 2 adults and 4 children now just 2 adults

More.
Bigger house and only two of us.

Garden is smaller though.
Family home had a vast garden opening out onto open countryside whereas now our garden is more modest (but more manageable).

Same number of bedrooms, but we had a lot more living and garden space growing up.
Most people I know who, like me, originate from this area, are living in more modest homes than the ones they grew up in. (London - prices are so high now)
