Please don't tell Melinda

But I'm having an affair will Bill Gates. He's my sugar daddy.

Actually, my home is about 800 sq feet, but I live in the city of Seattle, which has very high housing costs. I also (brilliantly) bought at the peak of the housing market climb, so my house's value immediately dropped when the market went south a week later. However, Seattle's market hasn't dropped as much as some other housing markets, so I guess I can count that as a blessing of sorts.

Seattle ranks 16th on CNN Money's list of metro areas, but they include Tacoma in that, which significantly drops the cost of our homes. You can't find livable home in metro Seattle for under 400K. Condos, maybe, but not homes.
