There are rich people that own homes with rooms bigger than my house.
An interesting insight I learned from a YouTuber who binged a TV show that toured mansions, most of those enormous houses come with one normal-size room. That room is where the residents spend the majority of their time. Often, it’s a kitchen. Sometimes, it’s a “small” smoking room or even just an especially cozy corner of an oversized living room.
They say being rich just buys you space.
You’ll never be in a restaurant with tables that are too close together
You’ll never be on an aeroplane with the seats too close together
You’ll never have a cluttered house
Your seats at the theatre are a box
Etc etc
Basically, money keeps you away from other people
Keeps you away from the people you don’t want to be close to. It’s an important distinction.
Thats exactly right. It’s also the reason why grass lawns came to existence.
