Here's a Forbes slide show of the ten (really 12) most expensive homes on the market in the US. None of them is in Fairfield. All of them, in my opinon, are God's way of telling people they have *far* too much money. It is God's way of testing them, as we are all tested. This awareness has stopped me from coveting other's money, looks, power,celebrity, circumstances, etc. If each of us were given any of these things, we would remain the people we are today. If we want those things bad enough we will get them. Then the real fun begins! Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~-- Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.

I've watched so many friends go crazy trying to keep up with their investment that the whole scene appears to me to be one of the most effective means ever invented for creating stress and unhappiness. My house though an older home doesn't require a lot of keeping up. I guess I was lucky it was well taken care of to begin with an most upcoming issues will be easy to deal with. The equity is nice to have compared with that money going down the drain with rent. Of course with rent one isn't tied down as much and maintenance is up to the landlord which will work as long as they are responsive. Also the purchase came at a time when the corporatized apartment complex I lived in had its rents becoming unreal and I realized I could own a house for the same fee. And since the house value has almost doubled. The scheme of course is the amount I save in taxes because of the mortgage interest deduction which could be threatened by the new taxation proposal (though I think will be difficult to pass). And it was also nice to have a garage to park my car in (unlike my neighbors who seem to use theirs for storage). At the apartment complex jerks were always parking in my assigned spot with little where else to park temporarily. And the complex became reluctant to call the tow trucks. Yahoo!
