Where do I start? I can't. I'm afraid someone will recognize me.

But yes, we're a very unusual family. And due to my particular mixed origins, I was born different and was always different from everyone around me. Maybe this is why I don't mind being different now and not fitting in, or keeping up with the Joneses, because by now I rather like being different.

are you me? Yes, same, mixed origins that I never fully fit in. Can’t say that I like being different, i a just used to it. It feels weird when I do fit it.

This is exactly, 100% me, down to the age and 20 years later. Only I don't have a 5M investment portfolio.

shared only because so many are convinced that early marriage is incompatible with financial independence.

I’m raising my kids just like I was raised in the Deep South—calling adults Mrs. Lastname or Miss Firstname, sleep training (CIO) etc

But DCUM taught me that when you accept a job in biglaw, you sign a document saying your wife must be a size 2. Size 0 if it's Vault 20.

Oh, I was a size 0 or 2 when I dated him! He was 5'4", balding (we were in our late 20s), and none of my friends thought he was handsome but he was making $300k at 29 and I thought he was sexy as hell, because he was really smart and funny. Sadly, he was also kind of an ahole so we parted ways after six months.

You effed up!

I do not believe diversity is our greatest strength and wish the DEI movement would die.

I do think diversity is a strength (not our greatest strength but a strength) and I think we should respect everyone - use kind language, be polite, etc. - but I do agree that the DEI movement should die.

I am a non-Catholic who sends my kids to Catholic school.

And I had no idea what DEI was, and had to Google it.

Approved: I think am pretty and dress kind of preppy. I am a 13th generation American, which is the kind of bullshit DCUM loves.

Unapproved: Chubby rn and unemployed so I'm a little cash poor.

I agree with the second poster. Diversity is a strength, but that this point DEI has become a boom industry full of grifters with a financial interest in keeping us all segregated and angry. Racial harmony is not good for business. I’m now skeptical of anyone with any sort of DEI-related job title.

Oh, sorry, I thought we were supposed to give one of each and I now see you were just asking for unapproved. Not reading the thread is unapproved and so are veiled brags, which my approved part sounds like :/
