What have you learned from those with less education, travel, and sophistication than you?

I'm a lawyer - those less educated lay people remind me why I can't stand other lawyers and why I didn't marry one thank goodness.

My DH is smokin' hot and sweet, and he has a college education and soon will surpass my pay. And great in bed. This morning. Tonite.

I can't imagine working 60 or 70 hours a week at a law firm and still managing my parenting duties. I suppose we all have different priorities. "

I'm surprised you're proud of living on 45K. My secretary makes 66K and she can certainly manage her parenting duties even while working 40 hours a week. Do you live in the DC metro area, or someplace much cheaper?

It's not that I'm proud of my income. I'm just not ashamed or unhappy with my choice, which is what you seem to expect. I have no desire to apologize to you, the random internet stranger, for my choices in life. My original post was to point out that some of the assumptions about us lower income folks can be flat out wrong.

I live and work in the DC metro area.

Do you have children? Do you own a home? Do you ever hope to retire?

He's not as "intellectual" as me. But I enjoy our conversations more than I do with a lot of other lawyers around here because he is not argumentative, I'm talking about devils advocate types, he is not overly competitive, and he is not liberal.
