from brodie in maryland he says is it unfair for me to feel angry that my wife wants a bigger house

we bought a 1400 square foot house last april i sold all four of my investment properties that i worked

very hard for to completely pay off our debt,

including the new house. Our house is a three-bedroom two-bath ranch with a backyard on a quiet street,

and it's in a good school district. So much sacrifice and saving went into making this happen.

Now she wants a bigger house, even though she said she wanted this particular house before we

put the offer in. I don't see how I can make this happen without going into debt again,

and I will not go back into debt. Oh, this is juicy. Listen, I, here's the thing. I do think that

some people's personalities, because you don't talk about any type of pay raise or situation where you guys' lifestyle has changed drastically, but I do think there's some people that the goal post is constantly moving, right?

It's like, if I just get this, I'll be happy, and then they get that thing, and they're not happy.

Or if I just get this, I'll be content.

And then it happens, and they're not content because things don't make you happy and things don't make you content.

You know, I think that they're fun, but they don't fill that void. And you can buy fun, but you

can't buy happiness. Yeah, and you can't buy contentment. And if you're on social media,

what she might be every single day scrolling through and looking at what the influences are doing and looking at what their friends, you know, their friend's houses or if she's spending all night watching HGTV, it is very difficult for some people to kind of go, well, that's them and that's okay, my life is fine. And truly, I think that that's what this is i think she's got

a contentment issue exactly sidebar what you stated there i just saw an article the other day that um

the more hours you spend on social media the typical the court there's a direct correlation to

the more credit card debt you have oh really i'd love to see that i know that. I know there is. And the more overspending you do. Because, you know, I do it. And I have the money. But I'm like

looking at some gun thing and I'm like, oh, I need one of those. Yeah. But if I had stayed off of that,

I wouldn't have been going to know when it was there. And, you know, but so I know other people do it, and I teach this crap.

So, you know what I mean?
