[quote=Anonymous]Ever feel like everyone around you has the trappings - huge new house (not in DC), 100k car etc - so they obviously externally appear successful, while you could afford same/much of the same stuff and don’t buy it so everyone assumes you don’t do well? I know it’s lame and 99% of the time I don’t care - yet I’m from a flashy culture and family where everyone talks about these things so at times it does get to me. As for why I haven’t bought these things - had a goal of $1mil in NW by myself by my mid 30s so in order to get there, I got used to not even looking at such things. It became about investment accounts etc but obviously I can’t show that off or even discuss it the way you can discuss your Maserati. Now that that goal has come and gone, it’s about setting up to retire early and/or leave my high stress profession for a small business when I get to the point where I feel
Like I’ve “made my money.” Again not something I can discuss bc I don’t want people going on about - but why would you retire early? And yet sometimes I’m tired of everyone acting like DH and I couldn’t possibly be in their echelon. Anyone else?[/quote]
