[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way would I move to Tel Aviv.  Move to Indiana and get a house twice or three times as big as what you'd pay here.[/quote]

you are originally from flyover country aren't you?

Spending money on experiences &gt; getting a 5000 sqft house to match your 5000 sqft spouse. [/quote]

NP here.  I think your response to PP is pretentious and kind of obnoxious.   I'm not a fan of McMansions.  And I'm "cultured."  But I like having my own space.  I also like having a yard and dogs and cats.  Living in an apartment in a city full time (as opposed to just traveling there for a temporary "experience") would not appeal to me.

I think you could buy a house with a yard in Indiana and still have enough money leftover to buy "experiences" and travel.

I find it obnoxious when people assume the only experiences worth having are ones that involve travel.  I've traveled, and yet my best memories -- hands down -- are the ones that involve running around barefoot in my backyard as a kid chasing fireflies.

I hate it when people pretend they're enlightened and open minded and then make a statement that is completely closed off to the possibility that other people might enjoy different experiences than the kind they enjoy.

I don't have children, and I understand some people like raising kids in a city.  But that wouldn't be my preference.  One is not better than the other.  They're just different.
