I used to think a million dollar house would be a mansion

[Anonymous]

Am moving into our new house and just feel sort of blah. I'm not that old, late 20's. When I was a kid I thought living in a million dollar house meant it was a mansion. Well I have a million dollar house now, 1.3 million, and it was built in the 1960s and is generally pretty dumpy. Don't get me wrong, it's a great commute and excellent school district but I just thought a million dollar house would be...better? Any one feel this way too?

I used to think that my humblebrags would be humbler. Am I off base?

+1, OP is clueless.

There was a shooting today and my $1.3M house is worth it to me.

Let me guess OP, you live in Arlington or Mclean?

Most million $$$ houses are not a dump.

Why can't you find a job somewhere that you can buy a decent home and not have a long commute. Will only 1 place hire you?

Yes. I feel that way. I can also buy for that price, but haven't yet since I also had dreams that 1.3-1.5 would buy a mansion and can't come to terms with throwing the money on a 60's or 70's hand me down. I also do not want to move away from the excellent school district and therefore continuing to live in my townhome until I can afford my kind of "mansion"

You make the choices you make. Many million dollar houses ARE mansions. You chose one that wasn't. Own your choices.

Those who want mansions can acquire but don't have the means to maintain the home.

There's really no amount of money that's too much to spend not to have to live near people like you.
