Gloating sister brags that she paid $50,000 less for her house in their hometown when her brother moves away to the big city, then she gets put in her place: 'Congrats, but I don't care'

This sister got a wake-up call about the state of the housing market when she bashed her brother's living priorities. 

Not everyone is willing to sacrifice a primo living location for a few extra spare rooms, cheaper closing costs, and a ramshackle shed. Although every oxygen-breathing adult realizes that you could live in a shack on 100 acres of land for 1/100th of the cost of living in the big city, most city dwellers would argue that you're paying with more than just the gold doubloons in your vault. The real cost of living in the boonies is your sanity–and for the Redditor in our next tale, a 26-year-old who fled his small hometown to go live in the big city, no amount of money saved could make him buy a forever home in a Midwestern village. 

But his sister seemed to take a holier-than-thou approach to his newfound independence. When the brother moved out, he found an affordable townhome in the city that he instantly fell in love with. What it lacked in size was made up for in charisma, historical features, and access to the city's entire metropolitan grid–a goldmine for a small-town boy looking to get away from the monotony. However, when the sister came to visit him for the first time, the only words of acknowledgment she seemed to offer were snide comments about how much bigger and cheaper HER house was back in Boonieville, Nowheretown. 

Lucky for OP, he knew at that moment that he could never explain away the bliss of owning his dream house in the big city, for it would fall on deaf and gloaty ears.
