I never knew you were here, or I'd have taken you out for a beer by now. It's funny when I tell someone on the East coast that I'm getting a beat up old 3 bedroom for $360k (if I'm lucky). In Pennsylvania or Ohio I can practically get a mansion for that and I'd like it too if I could find work there, but my wife thinks L.A. is too cold for her taste.

Congrats! It's probably time to focus on health. You've got a lot to live for man. Just a 20 minute walk daily would help. My wife does the stairs at work...

Dude, neither of those states has even one inch of coastline. Look at the actual East Coast (the DC - Boston metropolis), and $350k won't get you anything you would want.

Congratulations, Radar! Sounds like things are going really well.

Where I live those prices are not too far off. And we don't have any coastline, either. But we do have mountains.

Hey Radar, in my haste to point out that Ohio isn't on the coast, I neglected to congratulation you on all of your good fortune so far. You deserve everything that you are getting now. They obviously value you at work. Well done.
