We could've bought a 10x more expensive home and only had 20% down but our life would certainly not be simple or frugal that way.

I'm not sure that making a big down payment is so frugal as much as it is just plain smart to do. The frugal part is living beneath your means by buying that smaller house with not just lower mortgage payments but also lower maintenance and utilities expenses! .-= My Frugal Miser´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.myfrugalmiser.com/2009/11/assessing-my-credit-card-debt.html" rel="nofollow">Assessing my Credit Card Debt</a> =-.

She's so right that frugality isn't about the dollar signs. I've certainly been learning that since my husband and I relocated to Germany in a 450 sq ft home. Great thoughts, Emily.
