Fucking Washington being all expensive and shit. This is why I still live with my parents.

I'll go cry in a corner now.

Of course we also get swings in temperature of 50 degrees or more in 24 hours but hey!

SS: Real estate here is phenominal. I have a buddy that bought his first home the summer he graduated from HS, working just 2 part-time jobs.

Whatever! What kind of broke ass house is that? 5, bathrooms, that's it?

SM, I can't find a shabby shitty studio near here for anything less then $1000/month.

Sucks

3BR 1 bath ranch on .45 acre in an established neighborhood $83K (mortgage rund arond $625/month)

4BR 2.5 bath Townhouse in a "nice" complex $800-900/month

Newly built 3-4BR 2.5bath in a newer addition $125-150K.

My heavens, SM! My apartment is so cheap, people will literally kill me to get my lease, and it's still $700 for a 1.5 bedroom semi-basement. With only one bathroom. One, I say. Where are my other 2 bedrooms?! Where is my acre and ranch!?

Buyer's market. Gotta love it.

When the house we bought first went on the market they were asking $95K. It sat for 6 months and the seller wanted to move south before the snow started. We got a fantastic deal.

There's a 3BR, finished basement with an in-ground pool just a block from us that's on the market for $116.

I NEED this house. Come on, lottery gods. I don't even care about the specifics. I just want to be able to tell people we bought Joseph Simmons' house, so when they "who's house?" I can say "Run's house".

OK, maybe $5.5 million is a little much for a bad joke, but still…

Right now in Beacon Hill, one of the most "prestigious" places to live in Boston, for $5.5 million you get a "Gorgeous renovation of Beacon Hill mansion just steps from the Boston Common. Featuring grandly proportioned rooms with elegant detail, amazing custom kitchen, open floor plan perfect for entertaining and family living. Four bedrooms, four full and three half baths, two sensational roof terraces, elevator access, and au paire suite." 5800 sq. ft. 2 garage parking spaces.

Just FYI, its not like I work in real estate or anything…

Au paire suite. Of course. Because if you have that much money, why should you be expected to look after your own children?

Come one EM…haven't you seen The Nanny Diaries?? Rich people don't take care of their children. Its the law.

Oh. Hell. No.

That's like unaturally expensive though. Most houses only run abour 2-3 mil.

Where did I come from?!

Even though I know the Simmons are ridiculously wealthy, I feel at least by celebrity standards (and even other standards) they are a family to admire. I love when Mr. and Mrs. Run and Russell tell all the kids to 'get to work' and while yes, those kids have everything, they also seem to be hard workers. And how cute are Diggy and Russ? So cute! Even Kimora, a Simmons by marriage, who will is disgustingly materialistic, still seems to be a good person deep down, and at the least, a good mom. And the Simmons also do a ton of charity work. More Simmons and less Hiltons!!!

yourmom- I haven't seen it yet, because my younger sister (who doesn't have kids) said it will make me cry because I get so pissy about that subject. So while I rarely listen to her, this time I have taken her advice.

Unless it has a gift wrapping room and bowling alley, I'm not interested.

I hear ya, SeriousStyle. I only have an apartment in Washington because I qualified five years ago as low-to-medium income and I'm sortof rent-controlled into it now. If not, I'd probably be trying to get accepted into a group home that gets like 1,000 aps for one renter.

I hate when these guys become rich quick, buy a huge multi-million dollar home and then have no clue how to decorate it….so tacky. I'll take my little 3,000 sq ft home that is comfortable, cozy and impeccably decorated over a cold, palatial mansion like that any day.

"My little 3,000 sq foot home"??

Yeah, totally, that's minuscule. How do you even fit a couch in there? I hope you don't have a roommate. That would be awful. I bet you guys would only have 2 living rooms each. Ugh, paupers. ;)

My house is also 3,000 and at first I thought that sounded too big. But with 4 kids, it's not big enough. That's why mommy needs her afternoon hot toddy.

Luckily in Texas you can buy a house twice that size for less than half of what you would pay for a tiny house elsewhere. Now I just need someone to buy this house. Maybe Reverend Run would like to move to Texas?

I don't think Rev came by his money quickly or easily - being a pioneer and all. That being said, I think we can all learn a lesson from Beetlejuice: not everyone has the same decorating tastes.

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. Shit, still nothing. That movie is a liar.

I never saw that movie, because his makeup freaked me out. True story.

Lisa(#1): Here, here, when I was charged with introducing someone to hip hop and they asked me to give them my list oh 50 best/must have songs I was trying to figure out what Run D.M.C song to choose, and finally said screw it and told them to buy Raising Hell. I couldn't be held responsible otherwise.

I live north of Chicago in the snobby ass part (it's filled with people who drive Lexus' and want you to know they shop at Whole Foods). I live in a tiny apartment for $1K a month. We are talking 650 sq ft. My apartment in Atlanta was twice the size of this place and $200 cheaper a month. Plus, I had a giant kick-ass patio with amazing view. Currently my view is of snow blowing on the roof of the apartment building in front of mine :-(

Owning a home is the American Dream. A dream that has passed me by. But there was choices that I made through out my life that were right at the time, but have excluded me from some home ownership. My damn kids had better put me up when I can't wipe my own ass anymore, cause I wipe theirs when they couldn't. Circle of life.

NEXT SENTENCES……
When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved? "Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but
WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE."
Maybe he was just upgrading!
