Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know I'm going to set up a "Go Fund Me" page so you all can donate so I can afford to move to Colorado.

Especially you Natives, you know, the folks who lived here over six months. Please help me, you remember what it was like.

OK, as I figure it I need between 10 and 30 million for a decent house with some acreage, maybe outside of Steamboat? I will also need about $150k for a 4wd pick up and Escalade. Then there is my personal jet, so I can fit in, about another ten mil, plus gas. I also need a ski in/out home in Telluride.

I figger 100 mil should do it! Please give, you don't really need that money and I really want to live a nice middle class life in the Rockies.

Ghod bless and all that.

You can also pm your credit info to me here along with your credit limit and I'll take care of everything.

I laughed.

I actually know someone that just set up a fundme page for 50k because they can't hold a job. The entertainment I'm getting out of watching that fail miserably is endless.

Isn't this out-of-line with the rules of this site? The posts are supposed to be legitimate. This is obviously a farce, and wastes room for the serious/legit questions. The teenager pranks belong elsewhere...

But .... it's a legitimate and obvious farce. The TOS do not restrict humor, or satire. I've often banned people, on the spot, for actual scams and Nigerian scammers don't even make it through this site's spam filter to which only we moderators have access.

I'm sorry Mr Sunderpig to offend you - I posted it after reading a number of different threads on various CO issues, and cost of living. We've been on a trip here for about a month and seeing all the over the top homes. I'm in Telluride right now, so you know what I mean.

The mod can remove this if they want - obviously my joke fell flat.

Oh, and I'm a 60 yr old teenager at heart. If you can't smile what's the point of the CO beauty?

jamies, you're doing fine. Keep up the good work at pointing out the high cost of living in much of the state's populated or scenic places.

I thought is was funny, and while it is over the top there does have a ring of truth to it with the constantly climbing cost of living, especially in some areas of the mountains.
