Who's "rich" when everybody's a millionaire?

Apparently every landowner around here is a millionaire now. Much to our embarrassment as lifelong pinkos, we're millionaires too.

When I was coming up, a million bucks meant something. When everybody on your concession road up here in hillbilly country is a millionaire, well...

Random real estate agents will drop in uninvited to discuss your millionaire status. It's all cool till you ask them where you might move to when you sell your hundred acres.

Well, if you want to move closer to the city, to be near your family, they've got a nice townhouse for you in Richmond Hill for a million bucks. You can imagine how many times I piss off the porch before somebody calls the cops. For a million bucks.

No thanks.

A little closer to home, you can get a 2 bed 2 bath condo for 750. Think of everything you can do with the difference!

What I would do with that $250k difference is split it five ways amongst the kids so they can all buy their own homes.

Oops... none of them will be able to buy anything in this crazy market, not even with a $50k down payment.

How pathetic is that?

So I guess I might as well just buy a boat.
