He’s asking for people to point out his multiple homes. I have no problem with people owning multiple cars and yachts as long as they pay taxes like the rest of us.

I just got off the phone with my sister in California. She and her wife want to move out of their tiny Berkeley apartment and buy a two-bedroom house.

After much looking, she noted the cheapest one available was $800,000, an amount they will likely never have.

I pointed out they could move here, where you can get the same sort of house (plus a much larger yard) for less than $20,000 - no dice, doesn’t want to live in conservative Nebraska. I guess she is going to be staying in her apartment.

I had a friend a couple years ago working as a Web designer in Kalispell, Montana. He was offered a job with Cabela’s in Sidney, and turned it down because he thought the pay was too low. (It was about $80,000 a year.) He said he couldn’t afford to buy a house or live on $80,000.

I pointed out my house cost less than a quarter of that. He is still stuck in his apartment too… .
