I remeber growing up and having thoughts about the future of Las Vegas. Things like "Someday housing prices will be sky high like California..." and "Someday the city will strecth all the way up the side of that mountain over there..."
So while I was driving back from my friend's new $300,000 house (which is very nice but not spectacular the way a similarly priced house would have been a few years back) located where there used to be nothing, it hit me that I'm now living in someday. In my $150,000 condo. What I never considered is the true financial impact of living in someday. It sucks. I think I thought wages would have gone up with the housing prices and all the expansion of the city that took place. They didn't. Somewhere in my mind condos are still like 80-90k. 110k for a really cool one. Altho the condos in my mind don't have granite. Mine has granite. And lots of closet space. I'm still moving up in the world. Even in the face of someday.
oh and on another note, in regards to the last post I wrote, Placido Domingo didn't even sing. So :0P to my dad. That's what you get for forgetting about me.
As usual,I don't feel like I'm keeping up with this blog thing enough..... *sigh*
