Not really. I did what you're not supposed to do.... I bought the most expensive house in the neighborhood and then I sank about $40k into renovations. So, I'm either going to have to live here a very long time, find a sucker who doesn't care about comps, or lose my shirt when I finally sell.

Most of the articles we read on such things are about downsizing and simplifying leading to happiness, but you might find some stuff here:
http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/main...s+on+happiness We read this site pretty religiously. It's pretty niche, as it's about living in small spaces, but it likely has some quotes you can use about living in a well-maintained place that reflects your personality versus constantly trying to upgrade to something larger and newer. |

Call the psychology department at KU and find out how to search for the studies you want. Chances are good somebody has done a Masters thesis on it. (See how I cleverly turned this into a Jayhawk thead?)

Heh. All this sounds vaguely familiar.
I guess the question is this - what comes first, the downtrodden property, or the lack of pride? |

You realize that google is not the end all and be all of research when you start trying to really dig deeply into a topic in a meaningful way. |
