You know babe, it's funny about Cindy and Andy's house, I basically had the same reaction. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy for them, but I just don't get excited about that kind of thing anymore. I think modern society is ruled by all of these damn status symbols, and I could personally care less about what type of car you drive, or where you live, or whatever other media-fed crap that people buy in to. Who cares? At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter.
I also think that modernity pushes people to make decisions too quickly. Why do I have to own a house and be in a job that will run my life for the next 35 years when I am 25? To me, the rush of modern life is crazy, people aren't meant to live this way.
Personally, i'll take the little shack by the shore any day over the 5 gazillion dollar home with eight BMWs.
