It's wierd feeling that I have a place with 2 balconies...one off kitchen and other off bedroom.

And I still haven't gotten around to getting proper outdoor furniture to hang out in either. I can't afford it ..

Will get something simple for at least 1 of them maybe next year. I just ended up getting a place with happened to have 2 balconies, an extra but more important it is close to cycling routes, services, etc.

I have heard of stories where some people won a gorgeous huge new home in a lottery. But they couldn't afford to maintain because of high property tax, etc.

My desire for a smaller place is just pertaining to my personal preference and....laziness to look after more rooms, etc.
