renovated nice nice but how much time you spend at home enjoy chilling ??
1/3 of life sleeping at home.
Another few hours watching TV and doing routine activities.
So technically speaking shd be 14 hours a day if dont include weekend.

If yr home is filthy with many areas so run down, am sure you wil feel more stress and unrelaxed. It is alright if you can afford to renovate. If can, why not?

Now more people WFH or on hybrid basis. The difference between good renovation versus bad is much more important.

But one stayed in it during that time. For me, I spent an average of around 20(?) hours a day at home during a year since I, er, 'retired'.
So a nice environment would be good. I have been enjoying my new home for more than a decade. Still great since I maintained it well.

it is not possible to enjoy "new" home for more than a decade.
new for a week or so, the most still can call "new" after a month.
more than a year, definitly not new anymore.

Why do people live on this world, going to school, working hard every day to earn a living, to buy car, snd buy condo knowing they will be gone after 50-60 years?

As a third owner of my current place, I didn’t spend a lot in renovation as I know I won’t be staying till I die. So I use furniture, soft furnishings and colors to decorate and decide how I want to live in the next 10 years. All my visitors, including neighbours commented my place looks cosy

There is a trend " for some young gen " is literally nothing in their home. No renovation done.
Clothing only just a few pieces. I forget that " term " for it.

So call " pass down to kids lor " Ensure kids in future at least got some money standby but well now a days kids also hard to say.
This is why some rich family NEVER pass down their asset to their kids, partly they want them earn themselves.
