I see $75K and think "closet".
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I see $75k and think "Fuck, I wish our house was worth that."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I see $75K and think "Good start on a downpayment".

I see 75K and think someone forgot a zero.
We went into an open house last Sunday in our neighborhood for a bungalow listed at 750K that was completely gutted and re-done inside. Things looked nice but there were some seriously stupid design decisions made (like upstairs where there is a master bath [no bathtub] without a door [one of 2 bathrooms without a door - must be a thing for them] and so anyone in the other bedroom upstairs either has to use the master bath or go down a flight of stairs. It was more important to have a master bath than to have a bathroom available to everyone up there, really?)

Because books.
See, there were lots of houses in the Central NY area in the $75,000 range. But there are no jobs, endless snow, and nothing to do if you don't like camping/lakes. So, not so much for me.
I want to own, despite the money pit Steph mentioned (which is always true), because I want to paint, and renovate, and make it MINE. Painting is usually okay wherever we've rented; ripping out walls, not so much.
Appropos of nothing, living in a college town means college guys jog by a lot. Often shirtless.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The Oatmeal has me laughing so hard after following that link to another link:
"Penis looks like a sea cucumber poking out of a wizard's robe"
I have not gotten past that text because I am laughing and crying.
BTW, no picture of said penis occurs at link. Just laughter and tears.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The Oatmeal is pretty well genius, and has given me a new tagline.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My favourite Oatmeal remains the deep-sea anglerfish. Hell, it's one of my favourite internet pages of all time.
