    When I was a kid growing up poor, I dreamed of a beautiful house and now I am buying 25m pesos beach resort I feel so jittery. But then, I saw this video, I am like whoooo... I wish I could afford this house but I realized suddenly I should be satisfied of what I have. This is human instinct we will never be satisfied and there's always something bigger and something beautiful.

Our house is open to local women and children when they became misplaced. Because of this, my wife and I would not sell this house for any amount of money. I`m assuming this couple is able to give much to the needy and God bless them if they do!

If you're living in the US right now then you know that. tons of mass shooting, even in schools. Properly taxes, and pricing. And mortgage interest is way too high, if not buying in cash. I don't know, I'm kinda scared for them moving in to the US. And selling what they have built carefully.
      Plus, food price has tripled as well. But I wish the best for them.

    I'm genuinely curious why people would put their heart and soul into a forever home like this and then leave. Any real answers? If you have money on display you become a target of various interests. Family and friends, government officials, police or a change in tax laws? I could be wrong but this doesn't seem like the kind of home you just walk away from because you're bored.
    Aside from my curiosity, this couple is fun to listen to and seam like a great team.

      This is a huge house with a lot of maintenance to take care of… probably there was no issue with money building the house but the issue comes with the costs of maintenance over the years after you have already built the house. We should learn a lesson from videos on the internet featuring abandoned mansions and beautiful houses just left to rot by their owners. I would never build a house like this even if I have the money… I always think of mega houses like this as a trap. You put so much of your heart and soul building it and you get trap in it. I would rather spend my money on a very good sturdy car that can take me anywhere I want and I can wake up in a different place with a different view everyday😊

Trees were knocked down everywhere, what was once a tropical paradise was turned into some hellish mess.
