Would this make you hate your neighbour?
Then last week a house around the corner sold for over $1 million – a full $200,000 over the asking price. The day after it sold, neighbours were gathered on the corner, talking about the couple who bought it, rumoured to be in their 20s with no kids. We all openly wondered, “How can they afford that?” “Who are they?” “Do they have rich parents or are they overmortgaged?” Then one of my neighbours came out and said something a few of us were thinking: “I hate them already.”
