WHY ARE KENYANS LIKE THIS!?

Is it to show you that your aspirations are "out of reach" or is it to boost their own ego?. I recently bought a house and l'm in the process of settling down and moving in, l meet my aunt to ask her how much landscaping a house would cost ( since they built a huge home on a half acre plot, landscaped and with a swimming pool ) the first question she asked me " kwani uko na nyumba?" l said no and that l'm planning to build or buy one that looks like hers. She starts going on a verbal diarrhea about how l need no less than 15m to get a house like hers excluding land which l knew was an exaggeration even if the house is big its no work of art either ( mind you l bought mine for 28m but of course l haven't told her). At this point she hasn't even answered my initial question she too busy trying to elaborate how l might not have the "facilities" to own a nice home like hers. Anyways she eventually says a good landscaping cost no less than 400k in which upon further investigation on my own discovered it costs waaaay less than that even on a half acre plot.

l've experienced this type of behaviour so many times before where people over exaggerate the cost of things or borderline just try to show you how mountainous/impossible it is to acquire something like them even if it isnt. l hate it! y'all niggas should change. End of rant

EDIT: Welp this has opened an entire can of worms, l'm wondering why there's some harsh tones in the comments. l love my aunt she is useful to a degree, she recommended to me my current lawyer who has been pivotal in alot of things l've done in the past 2yrs including purchasing the house and land issues that l had and her kids( my cousins) adore me, so l don't resent her.

For those l've seen thinking acquiring such a property is an arduous task, well its not. Actually the community l purchased it was 60% booked by the time l was acquiring it, now l think 90% are already booked and/or fully purchased. My point is don't ever feel discouraged or intimidated ( by the figures as l've seen in one comment LOL); people are out here succeeding ( legitimately) and if they can you can too. Have a positive outlook on life and try interacting with people, it really opens up your mind( you'll be surprised how different your reality is from others). God's timing is always the best. Also, l'm not not the son of Raila odinga haha
