Meh. If you have the resources, buy whatever makes you happy.

If a bigger house makes you happy because you have space for your hobbies and you don't need to fight with your family members for space, buy a bigger house.

The whole "money doesn't bring happiness" thing is bullshit unless you are a Buddha.

A mansion in Malibu isn't going to make me happy, because I wouldn't know what the hell to do in Malibu. An upgrade from a 2-bedroom to a 4-bedroom home with a garage so I don't have to smell laser cutter fumes anymore and hack a ventilation system out a bedroom window? That very well might.

As someone who upgraded from a 2 bedroom flat to a 3 bedroom house with a garage, I concur. Having a place to store my bikes and other “dirty” tools that’s not inside was such an improvement to my quality of life that I tell people to always look for a half decent garage when they buy. Especially if they also like cycling!
