Could you/have you moved from a gorgeous house to a 2 bedroom unit?

I currently rent a really lovely 3 bedroom house with a huge nice backyard, gorgeous neighbours, a street away from the CBD, but I can barely afford food cause the rent is to expensive for me as a single studying mum. In January we are moving into a tiny 2 bedroom flat. This means I am going to be culling stuff before the move so we can fit in the flat, but thats ok, cause really, how much 'stuff' do we really need? I will be saving $170 each fortnight just in rent and lawn mowing!

I personally love living in units cause there is only a tiny space to clean and no yard to maintain LOL, yep I'm lazy

Well, i actually went and looked at one today and it was TINY! I can't believe how small the rooms were! Wow, i don't think there is any way we could possibly do this, the one i looked at was only $20 a week less in rent than our lovely house! DF is in a snot with me because i didn't think it was big enough, he hasn't actually been inside though. The main bedroom didn't even look like it would fit a queen size bed in it, it was so narrow it looked like a single room! It did have a walk in robe plus a bigger bathroom than the main one, but you wouldn't have been able to even walk around the bed once it was in place. I will go and check out another one on the weekend with DF, but i really don't see this happening.

We are currently living in a very small 3x1 unit/flat in a complex for 5 after living in houses...and after I had grown up in massive places with all the mod-cons.

It was a shock initially...but we very quickly realised that we own too much stuff and we don't need a lot of it to live happily, even in a small place.

We DO have a lot of parks near by, and P is in full time daycare, so that helps...she does go stir crazy in here.

We get cabin fever too. I can't wait to move!
