According to history books, the average size of a home back in 1975 was nearly 1,000 square feet less than the average size of homes these days. Plus, the families were way bigger back then. If you consider those standards, then people these days are definitely living large.

Professional organizers say that downsizing could very well be the fresh start that you and your family have been wanted to have.
