Also known as "something that doesn't happen". There are far too many very successful and wealthy AA folks around the DVM. No one bats an eye. You are projecting your racism. |

What’s an “upper class neighborhood”? I didn’t know only a certain net worth could buy in a location. |

I'm not ambitious. I only have a BA and I make $100k and will probably never make more than that
I don't care about travel. I want to see the world, but I hate the actual act of traveling and the logistics, etc. I'm thin and eat healthy food, but I also eat probably 2x the recommended sugar intake a day, on top of the normal healthy diet I don't work out |

- We let our kids have junk food. Somehow, they survived to be functioning, non-obese adults.
- Cars are a transportation tool, not a status symbol, and we walk/bike/use public transportation as much as possible. - We live in what DCUMers charmingly refer to as a sh*tshack, even though our household income is mid-six figures. |

Wrong thread. Being a moron to the point of sociopathy is classic DCUM behavior. |

DH is a trade school graduate in HVAC. Before he retired at 52 as a chief building engineer he was making more than I as a Vice President at a large commercial bank with “25 years under my belt” with two associates and two masters degrees. When DH was working he appeared no different than any of the many bankers or brokers that worked in the buildings he operated. DH wore a uniform of a white oxford shirt and chinos. I’m proud of his career path and his ability to retire at 52. His post retirement side hustle iss a consulting firm that specializes in facility management / maintenance, he works half the hours he did as a chief building engineer, and makes triple the income. He pursuing his dream and is very successful having only a trade school education. I recall a story he told at a party about a time when he was working in Baltimore, changing lightbulbs over a desk of a number of investment brokers. These college graduates were snickering about the ‘old man’ changing lightbulbs. One of the brokers laughed and said he had seen him in the restroom plunging a toilet the day before. He laughed back and told the brokers that he was being paid six figures plus bonus to change light bulbs and repair toilets. Suddenly the snickering and joking stopped, these college graduates wanted to know how they could make six figures doing what he was doing. DH was 42 at the time, not really an old man. This man retired at 52 with our home paid off, vehicles paid for, a sizable 401K, plus cash in bank and doesn’t regret his blue collar career path. Society can say what they want about the blue collar workforce but when they need their air conditioning repaired, plumbing fixed or their car repaired you bet they speak positively of their mechanic (with a trade school background) |

DP, but probably clinically obese per BMI chart, rather than the hysterical DCUM Moms who regularly shriek that anyone 20 pounds overweight is “obese.” |

| I use the McDonald’s app to get free vanilla cones on an occasional basis. I don’t bother to go inside. I only use the drive through. I then drive around to see the most expensive homes on sale. |
