Buying a house in Indianna-->This watch cost more than that house...

Lol, It's is amazing I'm able to afford this Blue Rolex...and to be able to say that this watch cost more than a house we put into escrow is so, unusual...

I love that watch Sam ...Yes, it's amazing what you can buy outside of California for less than the price of a watch!

Here in San Francisco, housing price is so over inflated that it feels more financially responsible to buy Rolex than a house.

I used to live in Indianapolis. While the housing market there is pretty favorable, I never thought it was that good.

Here in the Bay Area, I could sell my home and buy more than a few Rolexes!

Congrats!

I've seen a gold dummy/pacifier that costs more than a gold Sub. At the London Masterpiece Fair you will see all kinds of crazily priced crap.

Here on Long Island property value and sales vary across the board depending on your zip, but either way our annual taxes could get me most of the way into that pretty WG sub!

I know the feeling. When I moved to NJ from AL I didn't under how crazy property taxes were. My ex-in-laws paid over a Smurf every year in property tax. That's ridiculous if u ask me.

Try buy a house in Camel Indiana and tell us about the price. Well, here in Honolulu Kakaako area where 800 sf condo cost almost $1 million bucks, I guess if I sell it I can buy more than a few Rolexes.

That's good on you. I am sure your family member really appreciates your generosity, no mater the cost.

We live in Zionsville and I wish my house cost less than a WG sub.

Real estate taxes are cheap here too!! We just moved from illinois. Half the house, twice the taxes there.
Yet, people here still bitch about their taxes???

I'd rather wear that house on my wrist than live in it. But maybe I don't appreciate the charm of Indiana.
