What size home would you need?

[TOF]

There's a big difference in downsizing and survival space.

If you're wanting to dowsize, start viewing houses with less bedrooms than the one you currently live in and basically houses smaller than yours to see how you 'fit'. It's really the only way to see if you can indeed cope with downsizing. Also, you and Mrs Scythe are young and not wishing to pry, but if you want a family, you need to factor in space for children, or be prepared to move again.

Survival space is whatever is availabe. Anne Frank comes to mind, and ancient housing styles could well be an example.
