You can afford a lot of house if you want to stay home and eat at home all the time.

I definitely spend a lot of time at my house. I did when I lived in a little, shitty house and I do now that I live in a giant, not-so-shitty house.

Hell, my house has almost everything I need.

You're absolutely right, though. If you eat out and travel a lot, you should probably be in a small apartment.
