[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I moved here at 18 for college and have never known anything else. My friends at home (KC) all have much bigger, newer houses than I do. But I get to live here. I probably make more than some of them do, but I don't make a ton - about $100K. I just bought a house in 1999, rode the market up and then sold and sunk the equity into a better place last year. My house is a $600K sh*thole compared to my friends who have $250K mini-mansions back home - but for me, it's worth it to live here. I can't imagine living anywhere else. But yes, if you're used to living in a cheaper place, there is serious sticker shock here.[/quote]
