[quote=Anonymous]It does get to be a slog. I'm guessing your late 30s/early 40s? But keep recognizing that you are giving yourself options for later -- at 45 or 50 you could go flashy if you wanted; cut way back on work if you wanted etc. And if you want to talk about something (though it doesn't sound like you do), you CAN brag about stocks and investments when people start talking about their Maserati. When dealing with a flashy family sometimes just saying one time how you've made a killing on x investment -- said strategically in front of the nosy aunts who will then spread it around -- does shut them up as they suddenly realize that maybe you aren't much less well off than them and that your 2 bedroom condo and Honda don't mean that you're struggling.[/quote]
