What do you consider decent? In the states that money would get you a gigantic place.
And I thought we were wealthy growing up 250k a year and we built a 1.5 million house.

250k isn't thinking about being wealthy. It is wealthy. :p

4 bedrooms, at least 3 bathrooms, everything else gravy.


Of course it's not helping that everything here is extravagant for the sake of being extravagant and there's only so much landmass.

4 bedrooms? I'd say one bedroom with a giant-sized bed. To save heating money.

It seems land there is tremendously higher, maybe you should rent a place?

250k isn't thinking about being wealthy. It is wealthy. :p

Most of it went into medical care and therapies for my little brother and my dad storing it away from us though. Now I make around 12K a year.

22 million euros (there isn't a euro symbol on this keyboard, gosh darn these american computers!) and you can't even buy a home with that? How much is sufficiently sized? I didn't think that Monaco could be even that expensive.

To put it into perspective, a decent studio apartment here costs at least 3 million.

Would it be worth it in the long run?

If a house is worth 22 million to buy, it will probably have a huge rent monthly too. So if you live there a long time, it may add up. Although it might be easier to find a good house to rent rather than buy.

If he stored it away, is there any way you can access it? It might contribute more to your current salary. No offense, but 12K is very little.

One of the claims for damages came from Chinese opium manufacturers, which led King to investigate narcotics use in Vancouver. King became alarmed upon hearing that white women were also opium users, not just Chinese men, and he then initiated the process that led to the first legislation outlawing narcotics in Canada.

Good ol racism up north, eh?

It has come to my attention that the only person in my mom's family that sees me as an adult, is my mom. Even my uncle thinks I am 10 and I owe some sort of respect just on account of his age. That I'm not supposed to defend my way of thinking and the people I love because his word is the law and I know nothing about nothing. I guess his ass is still sore from me telling him he's a shit Christian for spreading bigotry against LGBT people.

I haven't been able to stop laughing since mom informed me of this. :lol2:
