Check it out. 690,000 Euros gets you a 75 square meter (800 sq ft) home.

$1.0 million in NYC doesn't buy very much either but you still have to have a million bucks...

Really depends when you bought the property.

My parents bought a property in 1962 for $1,550. Today its worth over $300,000. There are plenty of people living in properties which are quite valuable but who are not rich.

Too many assumptions, not enough facts and plenty of jealousy.

Correction: the connected rich. Now those small business owners? No.

They're all over Palo Alto and Mountain View. Tiny 60's ranchers sell for $1 million.

I understand the difference.
