When I was teaching, I used to look out at the parking lot at the big fancy cars and wonder.. what the hell? My husband and I talked about it often. We moved from my tiny 50s house into our 80s house and consider ourselves lucky. It needs a lot of work and it's a struggle to keep up with things. Now we are headed into retirement and who knows what will happen. Meanwhile, a huge fancy subdivision went up across the road from us. Lots of young families live there. My thoughts are .. what the hell? I don't know where they get the money for that.. but oh well.
