Rather than max out

Rather than max out our financial resources, we
chose to live very simply
in a small, but charming 1926 Sears kit house.
You may have heard of these ?kit houses? ? they were, literally, house kits sold through a Sears catalog. They were shipped by train, and arrived with lumber, nails, and assembly instructions. It?s as solid as a rock, well-built, cozy ? and
by 2006 standards ? pretty tight quarters, even for newlyweds.
We love this little, old house with the big, tall trees. But,
it was an adjustment, living in a house as small as this one
which, by the way, was ?target- rich? for some upgrades ? to the kitchen and to the bathroom
(notice ? only one bathroom!)
Who lives without a dishwasher? Who can get by with only about 3 feet of counter space? How can I live without cathedral ceilings, multiple built-in ovens, a wine cabinet, two sinks, granite countertops, and separate offices for every member of the family?
I could feel my growing discontentment ? my dissatisfaction taking over ? my covetousness growing like a big, ugly green monster.
