Mermaid, You are much too kind!
When we bought our house, we were buying something we had dreamed about for years. We were in no way sitting at the closing table thinking of the money we were going to make, but we were thrilled to finally be progressing toward a dream. Everyone has different dreams. Not everyone's dream is to accumulate as much money as possible in the shortest period of time. If that is your dream, fine. But don't belittle others' dreams and ways of enjoying life.
"Is this a way of making ourselves feel better for letting money dominate our thoughts or not selling at the high or are we just "better people" than they..."
Money may be dominating YOUR thoughts, but you are way out of line generalizing in this way. Did you even think seriously about what you wrote?
