the very nice, very large (nearly 5,000 sq.ft.) where I grew up in the city sold last year for double what my family sold it for 20 years earlier.

over the same period, property taxes on that home nearly quadrupled.

i'd rather have the house in the county and pay half the property tax.

That advice, dubious in the best of times, is downright toxic today. There are many factors that go into buying a house, and I don't think very many have to do with either fish or ponds.

You have the right attitude. Ideally folks should pay cash for all purchases. Purchasing a home and higher education are investments that can bring on some debt but I think folks need to use wisdom with all financial decisions. I am against debt as well.

That's like my current neighborhood in New Jersey - nice houses are available for relatively low prices because the public schools are so horrible. But I meant that paying for private schools partially negates some of the argument for living in certain less expensive neighborhoods. @Dana: Paying for private schools offsets – in a negative sense – the cost savings of living in a cheaper neighborhood.

But I'm not sure I follow the connection on how paying for private schools can offset the cost of settling in an expensive/better neighbourhood. Interesting argument here.

So why not buy a moderate house in a nice neighborhood and still make rich friends and socialize with the movers and shakers. There are many groups and organizations you can join that will allow you to make friends with the people you aspire to be like without having to spend all your money to live next to them. <br /><br />I will also say that the little fish, big pond guy probably works long hours to pay for his privilege and has less time to socialize with his idol peers to even pick their brains about privileged life.
