Looking for your Dream House? Consider this...

[Mindy Jensen]

My dream house was 4 houses ago. Ugly as sin but a nice yard. Great location.

I made it pretty, sold it and bought my next dream house, also ugly as sin, but with a great yard.

I made it pretty, too. Then sold it and bought my next one. But this one was beautiful and enormous. Two weeks in, I was itching to sell. 

I now live in a home 1/4 the size of that last house, and this one is truly my dream home.

It took me a while, but I figured out that my dream home isn't enormous. My dream home is just enough for me to live in.
