The feel of money

I have no idea what one and a half million euros feels like.

Many people do, I'm sure, but I don't. When I was a kid, being a millionaire was one of those impossibilities that was dreamt of but never considered realistic. Like getting off with the pretty girl who sat at the desk by the window.

Now I'm part of an association board that is responsible for selling property of roughly that value and then finding and buying a new place. The sale is almost complete; we now need to make a deal for a new purchase.

It is difficult to find a suitable property, though. In my head, I can already hear the moans that 'this' isn't big enough, 'that' is in poor condition, and 'the other' doesn't exist. We have a lot of activities, and the decision weighs heavily.

And I still don't know what one and a half million euros feels like.
