Agreed. I think it is actually more irresponsible to buy a lesser house than what you will need for your growing family. If a young couple buys a 2 BR condo; and they are planning on having kids, that means in a couple of years they will be selling and buying again. Pretty much burning $20K just in moving and realtor costs.
When I bought my house it was quite big for a single guy, but now with a familly it is actually slightly on the small side. However it is still manageable.
I guess it just bugs me that people seem to think you
have to move every X number of years. A friend at work is building her house, and it's almost done and she was showing pictures. She really loves her new house; and she just beams when she talks about it. However there was somebody talking about the granite in the kitchen and the hardwood floors saying "Good choice- those will be great for resale value." Instead of "What great colours, you must be excited to move in."
