发个疫情前震惊我的事情

公司楼下帮停车的老哥问我tesla咋样，他再考虑换不换，想买个最基本配置的。。。我说，你住哪里？他说了个地址 Xxx我愣住。基本上那个地方的入门级别房子，是我和我老公省吃简用勉强出得起的listing price.我又震惊的问，是SFH?他说是。我顿了顿，说够了，每天来回，两天一冲，公司还不要电费。我记得当时就回去的一路就在想，停车的老哥每天是不是就看我们就像看养老金一样，我们好好工作，就是为了接高房价的盘。。。。

另外说我职业歧视的，如果你发现你家园丁啊，清洁阿姨啊，住的是你家买都买不起的房子，你不震惊吗？ 最近实在是没啥事情发，无聊一下，准备收拾收拾vacation 咯

完全理解不了你的脑回路

就是觉得做低级工作的人住在高档社区，玻璃心碎了

或许人家早就财富自由了就是找个事情消遣而已

不知道说什么，祝楼主六一快乐吧。

不是之前有个新闻说 中国某start up快关门了 扫地阿姨卖了一套房支援他们渡过难关

lz妥妥的职业歧视，眼界放远点吧

土著和移民的区别呗

Guillermo？

好多年前我还在国内上班的时候，公司请来帮我们做午饭的阿姨家里有几千万的拆迁款。

正常啊！很多美国人房子买的早，湾区这种地方二三十年前没有那么贵的。而且美国人也可以继承祖辈的房子，就是有根基呗。湾区以前的老华人移民家里我去过一些，都说就是很多年前买的房子，有的就是普通人普通职业，当然也有以前华人富人移民过来的，在一个人家里见过收藏的张大千的画。

可能是跟人合租的房子。 。。。。楼主想多了

上海街头好多广场舞大妈个个都是千万富婆呢，人不可貌相

我以前公司的一个秘书，西裔大妈，老公是蓝领，我忘了具体干啥的了，开个pickup到处接活儿的，俩人青梅竹马，高中毕业后她读个community college ，男的就工作了。大妈人很热情，一直叫我kiddo，喜欢抓我聊天，一次忘了聊啥，说到他家房子，我还没来得及表示仰慕，她说是她儿时的家，后来父母转售给她的，她出生之前父母买下来的时候也不算难，那时候那个房子是街尽头最后一家，旁边就是农场，她从小就跟农场主混得熟，老去骑马。。。后来那片就开发成住宅了，然后就沧海桑田了。

那是，我房东跟我抱怨说美国现在的一些小孩都被教育坏了，他邻居家的孩子看到他割草像看到脏东西，我房东很愤怒，“我靠我自己的手挣钱有什么问题？劳动还分高下？” 还有一次他修完房子的化粪池，穿了全套掏粪工人的装备回家，被他邻居报警了，说有危险分子出现在社区，可把他气坏了。。。
我房东曾经是我同事，隔壁部门的经理，学历很好，管着几百号人非常能干，副业买房子当房东，后来房子太多钱也太多，他就辞了经理的工作专职做房东了。。。。。所以他真的是身体力行“劳动不分高下”，不管蓝领白领他都干得超级成功。

我们公司前台，开的车是全员工最高级的

这不很正常吗？人家家里人有钱，或者住着老人的遗产房子。我以前公司圣诞都是去小老板的小蜜家办公司party呢。人三百万豪宅。小蜜工资两倍都不够交房产税的。

我以前公司同事，老公无业，她一般工作，工资绝对不高，两个孩子上私立高中。她老公很不成气候，后来一个意外去世了。后来她一个亲戚去世，她继承了一个房子，变成有钱人了。

想起来，我们公司衣服包包最名牌的都是高管助理。

很有可能是好区强插的，现在都有受EO影响的

凡事震惊的，为什么不想一想是不是因为自己是井底之蛙？

楼主典型的国内人思路。在美国很多水管工挣多少钱你知道吗？就算知道，让你放弃办公室去修水管，你还是不干。
别再和人比了。幸福主要看心态。住的地方比你差的，也未必就不比你幸福。

我记得N年前在学校的某教授办公室门口看到过的笑话——
A professor of mathematics noticed that his kitchen sink at his home leaked. He called a plumber. The plumber came the next day and sealed a few screws, and everything was working as before. The professor was delighted. However, when the plumber gave him the bill a minute later, he was shocked. "This is one-third of my monthly salary!" he yelled. Well, all the same he paid it and then the plumber said to him, "I understand your position as a professor. Why don't you come to our company and apply for a plumber position? You will earn three times as much as a professor. But remember, when you apply, tell them that you completed only seven elementary classes. They don't like educated people." So it happened. The professor got a job as a plumber and his life significantly improved. He just had to seal a screw or two occasionally, and his salary went up significantly. One day, the board of the plumbing company decided that every plumber had to go to evening classes to complete the eighth grade. So, our professor had to go there too. It just happened that the first class was math. The evening teacher, to check students' knowledge, asked for a formula for the area of a circle. The person asked was the professor. He jumped to the board, and then he realized that he had forgotten the formula. He started to reason it, and he filled the white board with integrals, differentials, and other advanced formulas to conclude the result he forgot. As a result, he got "minus pi times r square." He didn't like the minus, so he started all over again. He got the minus again. No matter how many times he tried, he always got a minus. He was frustrated. He gave the class a frightened look and saw all the plumbers whisper: "Switch the limits of the integral!!"

这么有钱还努力上班值得敬佩啊

一直在某地产群里面隐藏潜水。听中介们聊天说他们的contractor/landscaper在某好区有N套房的案例好几个。。。
我家上次雇的做水泥的，给我看个sample color，是他自己家院子，也是好区的豪宅。

认识一个手里有十几套北京房子的，在一个小公司做后勤打杂。

人家是土著，你是外来人。在美国你还有希望买得起。在北京开出租大爷的房子你可能都买不起。

我们那的秘书，50多岁吧，平常穿着很大众，衣服包包也不是大牌，有次下班一起去停车坪，才发现她开的是法拉利跑车，住的是最贵的区。人家来上班就是在家无聊，过来丰富生活的。

还好，土著和移民，早买房和晚买的区别

楼主就分享一下，没什么好拍的吧。 有些人可能就是找个工作图个打发时间，其实家里都有矿：）

据我一个CxO朋友说，这种家里有矿的还特别好用。因为人家不愁钱，找工作都是奔着真爱找的，薪资待遇过得去就行，干起活来开开心心，也乐意多学东西来长进自己。

我从前住的海淀某小区，停车场看车的大爷是从市中心拆迁过来的，给他分了小区里的十几套房，市值堪比一家小型上市公司

好几年前，我当时待得某公司招了一个director, 刚来的时候看到IT contractor天天中午都是附近餐馆买来吃，他自己带frozen food（超市2块钱1份那种），公开场合说级别低的花钱大方是因为不需要供学区房花钱没规划。结果他自己的“学区房”其实只有小学到了9分，合同工的房子全10，来我们公司工作就是因为他可以骑自行车上班。又过了几个月招了一个小年轻，房子和我们CSO一个大区，小区还要更好，原来是家里长辈给的房子，就为了上班近。
这些真的比不了，楼主你以后就慢慢习惯了。

我园丁住的房可能比我的贵，因为他早20年买的

有一次回国和亲戚去他的一个朋友家吃饭，那个朋友家很漂亮，联排别墅，房前屋后有水有花园，有个民工大叔一直在厨房做饭做菜，我们吃烧烤的时候帮着烤鱼烤肉递饮料，我真觉得家里请这么个厨师太幸福了。结果我亲戚说，这个厨师是这家主人的牌友兼老板，身家十几个亿，就喜欢做饭给大家吃。。

俺家阿姨房子比俺家贵三倍不止，她老公来接她情不自禁的说了句，你家房子好小呀。。。阿姨卖了一套加州房子搬俺们这的，在俺们这买了两套。。。

美国蓝领很多很有钱。包括移民二代。 我的目标就是好好干。然后我娃可以做个什么园丁木匠电工。

也说说我的一个朋友。练芭蕾认识的，认识10年了。她和她老公租了一个很小的房子。房子倒是收拾的很整洁，里面好多书。后来才知道，她和她老公退休前是一个很好的大学的英语教授。我也很穷，喜欢和她一起淘打折衣服。反正这老两口在我眼里是穷人就对了。 上个月我面试faculty, 她刚好打了疫苗闲着无事，就自告奋勇听听我的报告。妈呀！发现遇到行家了！她给的建议真好啊！马上把我的报告变得很高大上。我一好奇，查了一下她以前的工作，居然是那个大学系统的副校长。我才突然想起来，我遇到她的时候，她刚50岁，已经退休了。只不过我那时对美国的退休没有概念。现在想来，这么早退休，当时的职位工资确实都是很高的。也是我俗气了，因为人家租小房子住，就以为人家穷。

人不可貌相。楼主多开开眼界。

这什么nosey邻居啊，这么讨厌。

楼主还没认清本地土著和移民打工群体的区别么？

很正常。也许人家祖辈就住在那里。任何个区几十年前都便宜的要死吧！

要是财务自由了，我也很想做自己喜欢的事情，每天累些也开心。

有些人就是有钱随便出来干个工作。孩子学校老师一发她家地址，班上好几个妈妈都惊了，哈哈。

这跟前面说的华人内卷有关系，华人说起来就是盯着那几个职业，医生教授马工律师，跟地气半点不沾边，美国社会高工资的职业多了去了，包工头管道工修车铺，Handyman，landscaper, 很多人就是真心喜欢干这些机械活儿，挣得多又自在。偏偏中华文化里头搞什么三六九等，士农工商，劳心者治人劳力者治于人这套，腐朽陈旧，遗毒海华好几代

你这是不懂啊。 管道工水电工修车铺搞花园这种，赚钱的很多，百万起，但是都是爹把手艺教好了，铺子客户攒好了，就给他，给人打工的时薪$35.什么包工头更是劳心过华尔街。 我劝你从$15块管道工学徒做起。这样孩子才能挣的又多又自在。
