Well shit, I wouldn't consider myself a happy guy... but I don't think $151,410/year is what will fix that. I guess I didn't realize I need a mansion to be happy

 

fancy term for "life satisfaction"

I remember as a teen being told to "evaluate my life choices"...Didn't seem like an income level point back then.

 

I have evaluated this link and am dissatisfied.

That makes it sounds like there's a cost of entry to being jealous of your neighbor's stuff?

 

Thats not a reward, that’s a punishment

 

I don’t understand the rotopax mount location. The only dumber spot would be on the windshield.

 

Just move to not Denver. Then life doesn't suck as much.

 

Having at one time lived in Denver and in some of the surrounding suburban wastelands, I can’t agree enough that living in Not Denver is much MUCH better.

 

Truth. I don't think I could afford a trashcan in an alley in Denver. But then again, that's because I don't make $151,410

 

I'm sure there are plenty who disagree but I don't think any amount of money is enough to be happy living in Denver

 

That's why I'm Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon.










Somebody might get this, but most won't.

 

Frank does - but he does not care anymore. Now he won't even eat the yellow snow.

 

Lived in Montana for 9 years, still have family there. More expensive than CO for the most part.

 

Fuck Denver

 

Denver is great. Kicked off my career here, found my wife, bought a house just to name a few things; can't complain despite its imperfections, and I'm immensely grateful. Did end up mostly giving up skiing due to the crowds and insane traffic, but I secretly never liked it that much any way if I'm being honest

Any specific reasons why you guys loathe it? Overcrowded? That's most metros worth living nowadays; a city was the wrong choice if you were looking for something more remote. Too expensive? Same thing. Too homogeneous of demographics? Sort of agree haha, but it doesn't make me hate Denver, too busy doing things Four major sports teams all within 5 miles of each other!!

 

I’m Denver adjacent

 

I know.
Just taking an opportunity to bring Frank Zappa into the BS.
I'm actually considering selling my house here and buying a house in cash in Hawaii. 3 acres for 250k. Bought my house here in 2008 and it's worth more than double what I bought it for and was supposed to be our starter home. I refuse to pay these ridiculous prices just so I can have a newer nicer house. Everytime somebody buys a house on my street for 500+ I can't help but think they're idiots.
If I wanted to move here from Texas I would take one look at the market and immediately stop considering and buy a mansion for less than a 1970's house with a 30" vanity and no tub in the master bath for 550k.
I only say Texas because thats where everyone has always flocked here from, and apparently now Florida too because those plates are everywhere now.

 

The times, they are a-changing. Value of anything is just what someone is willing to pay for it. A lender wouldn't be giving those idiots 400K+ (that's assuming 20% down) if they didn't think the house wasn't worth that much. You know what they don't make more of these days? Land, especially in desirable places. You know what they do make more of these days? People, more and more of 'em.

 

Dude, same here. Bought mine 23 years ago and worth 4x what i paid for it. Hawaii sounds nice.

 

Bro, I'm telling you Hawaii, South Carolina living on the water. I feel like living in Denver has become a fashion statement.
