 Interesting. Being well off to some people means to indulge in excess
while with others they minimalize with the best they can buy and save
for rainy day. :)

Vancouver, BC). It's not huge, nor ornate, but beautiful with quality
workmanship.

furnish with good furniture (and not in excess) and accessories etc..
and of course good kitchen appliances- than a HUGE house left half
bare. I've seen this happen. People buy more than they can afford or
want to have to keep up.

This notiton of more is better isn't so. It's just what big business
wants us to believe.

What's that expression about he who wants for the least has the most?
SOmething like that.. :)
