I have a sister who loves the French Quarter. She bought a house right after Katrina, when real estate prices were in the slumps. In fact, I remember her telling me that, back then, she had to wade through the waters to get to the front porch.

Today, I found out that the overall real estate value has since rebounded... hard... and now her net worth is higher than mine! Nooooo! Haha.

But seriously though, I am glad that she is doing financially well. She is all around a great person and I've always secretly worried about her financial situation. I mean I know net worth isn't everything, but I never knew about her full financial picture until now, and I am happy to say my worries may be misplaced!
