The most expensive purchases I have made in my lifetime boil down to my bicycle, my car, my boats, and a plane ticket. All of these suggest ... no, demand, almost ... motion.
So the fact that I am about to lay a ridiculously large sum of money into a house, something so firmly and irrevocably planted to the ground, the very antithesis of motion, is really a big deal.
