homes are definitely the most cherished
possessions of a human being
partly because they ensure a comfortable
life and partly because they're the main
ways to show the social status of their
inhabitants and in our modern and overly
competitive world status is utterly
important especially for some of the men
and women of today's high society
while for most people a decent sized
house is more than enough
for some it's only giant mansions that
rise to their limitless expectations
you can bet those expectations come with
more money than they can count
does owning a big mansion matter welcome
