Well, several years ago the company my father worked for went out of business and he lost his main source of income. Because of this, my parents decided to downsize our home in order to free up some cash and reduce housing costs. So we moved from a large house into a 2 – bedroom flat.

I thought it would be difficult to get used to living in a flat that was less than half the size of our old house. But things turned out worse than I anticipated. The main reason is that the change was too drastic for our lifestyle. Although our downsized space was fairly spacious considering the overall square footage, it felt crowded with more than three people in it, therefore overnight guests were out of the question. Also, it was impossible to have big get-togethers. So we couldn’t host family meals and events that we really loved. There was not enough room for everyone. What’s more, I had to let go of some of my possessions ’cause my bedroom was so small there was no room to swing a cat, let alone install a big built-in wardrobe.
