For some people, having a child changes everything. Why work if you don't have to and you can spend time raising your children?
Why work ten hours a day in the rat race to afford an expensive apartment in the city when you can get a big house in the suburbs for less and not work?

Space is overrated, the suburbs are boring, and New Jersey smells.
And I have an expensive apartment in Manhattan and until lately had not worked 10 hour days for 2-3 years. I have been lately but it doesn't feel like it because I'm doing what I want. Certainly one of the last things I'd want to worry about right now while doing what i'm doing is an extra room to furnish. Seriously. I don't see why people need so much space.
