If you live in the Lafayette, Louisiana area, you've got some opportunities to "Go big or go home."

And if you have a lot of money, you can do both.

I saw a Facebook ad recently for a new luxurious home that just hit the market here in Lafayette. I got to thumbing through the pictures on the MLS listing and dreamed like a lot of you.

It's fun to imagine what it feels like to be that top percentage of folks who can actually afford a house over a million bucks.

As you'll see in the list below, these pads range from just under $5 million to some about $2 million.

Along those same lines, you'll see a couple of these homes aren't as extravagant or as large but the overall property cost is due to the amount of land it sits on.

Now, let's all drift off and dream together.
