18. I have wondered about this for a long time
Where is everyone getting the money for 350 thousand dollar homes? What kind of jobs support this kind of lifestyle? Here in Florida a lot of elderly have huge expensive homes, I missed out on all this. What kind of pensions do they have to maintain this lifestyle. I fear all will end and these huge houses will be up for sale with no takers, kind of similar to the mansions of in the early part of the 20th century when even the wealthy could no longer afford that lifestyle, not enough cheap labor and the introduction of taxes ended that era. Something will end this one too. What I do not know.
