Well to a certain extent that's your choice. We chose to live near dh's
work. This means that we are in a smaller house than we would like bacause

We choose to stay poor and with a small house because we like to see each
other.
There's also quite a lot of people joining the country...

you're only up for 12 hours a day????

I have less than an hour every day
