Yeah - I have to say I'm living well. We bought our place in the late 90 for an exorbidant sum that looks like chump change now. We live in a very walkable neighborhood, close to parks. Work is a 20 min bike ride. I've been working tech for many years, being a 1 car, frugal family has paid off. We get out side quite regularly.

There are plenty of things to complain about but good lord - it's pretty damn good from where I sit.
