My Reality
 
I'd always thought I was a member of the middle-classes, but after seeing this 'pillow' my reality changed and I realized I was a member of the lower-classes.

That's a SHAM!

I just wrote a check for 7500 gallons of AvGas.
I’ll have to wait ‘til next month for the sham.;):rolleyes:

NOT !!

Wow.... $2K for a couch pillow??? I don’t get it. :confused:
Around here, those are the first things to be tossed to the fake wood laminate floor when it’s time to sit down.

Fabric is very, very expensive, and I didn't fully realize this until a recent move. If you think pillows are expensive, try out $8K for one set of drapes. Lampshades? Rugs??? Outrageous bucks.

The most expensive furniture I used to own were my two antique leather club chairs and matching ottoman. Now they are the cheapest.

Anything nice is expensive.


Mercedes don't exactly grow on tree's.

Yeah, apparently an average planning decorating budget to replace 2/3 of your old chit when you move including new paint, fabric and furniture is around 12% of the value of your home excluding commissions.

Yep and everyone skimps on that. They stretch so much to buy the house that its like empty.

I have been in big homes, $700k homes, that people have lived in for 5 years that look like they just moved in.

The house we bought had a $70K kitchen, a leather couch, a bed and a big screen TV in it when we first began looking at it----and nothing else.

Hattie, is $700k considered an expensive home in your area? I just talked to a man in Philly who bought a house for $900,000 and they have to put $400,000 into it before they can move in.

New Haven and north of New Haven I guess can be real low compared to Fairfield county. What am I talking about ,I can't even afford a $75 house lol

If you can buy a python pillow or cocaine, you have too much money.
