[quote=Anonymous]No, not of the beautiful chevy chase houses posted here that i'll never be abel to afford,  nor of the gorgeous estates out in the midwest that I'd never want to move to, but I"m struggling with real house envy of a friend.

We both bought our 'starter homes'  at the peak of the bubble with plans to get out in 3ish years.  6 years later, we're both underwater, but they just bought a new house (plans to rent theirs out, a small inheritance from her father, she's not been forthcoming with the details, nor have i pushed).

She's moving further out than I'd want to live, but still reasonable.  I can't get myself to feel happy.  I waver between bitter, sad and just plain green with envy.

I know logically we could do what they're doing and get the same house (maybe even better because our HHI is higher), but I'm not comfortable with renting out our current place.

Help me be happy for my friend, and not feel so sorry for myself.   I hate feeling like this, but haven't been able to shake the feeling since they started looking a few months ago.  I want to be able to go over there without feeling bitter..... worry that I'm going to ruin our friendship by pulling away because I feel like this.....
