[quote=Anonymous]We bought our home during the height of the real estate collapse of 2009. We got a hell of a deal on this place and have fixed it up over the years. We’ve never wanted to upsize into a larger place because we’ve made this one everything we could ever want (minus maybe a mudroom or master bathroom.) We are in a safe neighborhood with excellent schools, and have no reason to leave. Not to mention our mortgage is dirt cheap, which allows us to save more for retirement and other luxuries in life, plus we are nearly paid it off.

It seems, however, that in both our families, the cornerstone of success is a big, new build home, and if you haven’t achieved that then you haven’t arrived. I notice, especially with DH family, I feel we are really looked down upon. It’s very superficial, they have no idea what goes on with our finances, only what they can see. I know it shouldn’t bother me but for some reason it does. Why do I let it bother me, and is there a way to shut it down? [/quote]
