I moved into my house exactly a year ago. The house next to me, which is smaller, just sold for $100k more than I paid for my house.

Do the math. Buy a house.

I use to live in LA and I saw it all the time, guys with these great cars living in my apartment building, which wasn't cheap, but still. It gives the impression that they are phony. Trying to be something they are not. Or they are too insecure to be themselves. You know they have to give that excuse when they bring a hot girl home, "Well, I just sold my house and I am looking for another just haven?t found the one I like." :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
