+2 to the expensive cars. I need gas mileage, a/c, and a radio with blue tooth and nothing else.
I also don't really need the high end clothing/bags. I have a few from years back and never use them. And honestly, the vintage bags I buy for a few bucks get way more positive comments than anything from Coach or Marc Jacobs or whatever. |
Not a huge difference (NP). I don't understand it either as it is a lot of money. You don't need to join a country club to engage in shared activities with friends. |
NP. I’m the same way as you! We cook 3 meals a day and have a gorgeous kitchen. For me, I need the countertops and island to be free of clutter and wiped down. When they are a mess, it gives me anxiety for some reason. I never made my bed and am not otherwise that great about home stuff, but i absolutely MUST have my countertops clear in the kitchen. |
It’s a big difference. And no you don’t. But in most places, it’s the only way to play a lot of golf and tennis. If you don’t enjoy those things then no, it’s not for you. I would never join a social club because I don’t enjoy parties and small talk. But I understand why other people might like that. It’s just not for me. |
Gray hair.
Expensive cars. Big house far from things. |
My kids to be travel athletes |
Its just an expression. That poster doesn't literally mean they "don't understand." You don't need to EXPLAIN it to us. |
Right now I don’t feel like I want to have a huge group of friends that I’m constantly socializing with. That’s a lot of work to keep up with and it feels really fleeting to me, even as I see so many people my age posting their nights out.
I would rather have a small group of more high quality friendships. I would rather socialize 1:1 or in a very small group than do a dinner with 10-plus people. I would rather Netflix and chill than go to a ball. |
NP - someone’s a little defensive about their country club |
A pool. No thanks. |
+100. When I see a yard, all I think of are responsibility and upkeep |

Agree. Most of the posters who say otherwise claim they cook a lot or well, but hard to be pulling out the stand mixer or vitamix out that often or even basics like salt pig or olive oils out constantly. |
Shopping. I try to get in and out. |
+1. Same with a second home. I don't even feel like managing the home I have! |
