A few days back I was invited to a colleague’s housewarming party. My head has been spinning ever since I visited his house. The guy started his career around the same time I did. He bought a 4-bedroom house in an expensive south Florida market, with a yard large enough for a mini soccer match, as well as space for a butterfly area (I saw a few butterflies, too).
