I just downsized a bit but upsized, too. We went from a house with a yard (huge rooms but lots of wasted space, lots of yard maintenance, house needed work) to a townhouse with a little yard (more rooms, better layout, no yard work other than my flowers). AND it's $500 a month cheaper than the house. Honestly I feel much more 'free' now. That's $500 a month I can put into savings and I don't have any worries about structural maintenance.
