Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the first homes in an trendy new subdivision, #867546785768 Mahogany Valley Whisper Drive. And it was a bargain at the low price of just $2,799,999 (HOA fees not included). I bet if you would have waited to snatch this beauty up it would be over $3mil in another month! Ain't keepin' up the Joneses' fun?

Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your level of snobbery there are some older subdivision homes in view of the home, some people find it quaint!


If you are inclined to a carbon-copy lifestyle just like everyone else at the new tech start up then line up at the Xerox machine! After a long day at work and a grueling 5 hour commute in heavy traffic, don't get lost among the thousands of other nearly identical homes all crammed in on tiny lots.


You navigate the winding streets, all arranged on a crazy mess of winding dead ends and cul-de-sacs only to discover a mailbox full of bills adding up to soul crushing debt, welcome to the American dream that is the jumbo mortgage and student loans. However, as you gaze upon the top-heavy two story entrance to your humble abode you realize it was worth it. Or at least that's what everyone keeps telling you. . .

Once inside relaxing on the rent-a-center couch you take a deep breath and close your eyes to relax, only to immediately be startled by your neighbor running the gas leaf blower at full tilt. The sound reverberates through the walls of the home, which are not much more than cardboard with vinyl siding glued on. After an hour the noise finally stops and you decide to watch some local news. The first story is regarding taxes going up in the county by 35%, along with an extra levy by the water company because of sewage plant violations which are of course passed onto the customers. Your wife then arrives home with good news, there is in fact 4 buns in the oven, not 1! Before you know it the little tykes will be running around in the bonus room above the garage. It'll be okay, you still have that money inherited from uncle Bob socked away in crypto instead of your 401k like you told the wife lol. Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life.
