"私たちの家はとても扱いにくい財産であり、しばしば私たちは家に住むのではなく監禁されている。"
— Henry David Thoreau

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, owning a house can feel like being trapped. This happens because taking care of a house requires a lot of time, money, and effort. Imagine someone who buys a big house. They might feel proud at first, but then they have to deal with repairs, cleaning, and paying a big mortgage. They might not have much time or money left to enjoy other things in life, like traveling or hobbies. So instead of feeling free and comfortable, they feel stuck and burdened. To avoid this, it's important to think about how much time and energy you want to spend on a house before buying one. This way, you can find a home that fits your lifestyle without making you feel stuck.
