[quote=Anonymous]I'm similar to you and bought a $1.4M home about 10 years ago, when i was your age, that is worth about $2.5M in another major US city.  Debtless college and no other help (not even advice) from family.  My DH felt it the most from his peers. They judged him, or assumed we had family money, and felt envious.  I actually didn't have too many "friends" in the area because we were fairly new, so most "friends" came from work and never came to my house.

My family was the worst. My mom was happy and envious, which brought about some strange behaviors.  My siblings didn't really care too much since they were wrapped in their lives. Until one of my sisters wanted similar stability for her kids.  Then she started making snide comments. She still makes them sometimes. I have a sneaking suspicion that she is telling my parents to disinherit me in favor of her because she "needs" it more. It makes me feels sad.  And sadder that I think they will do it.  Less the issue with money and more being from a toxic family.

On the other hand pur home has increased dramatically in value and we were able to take advantage of low interest rates of the time. Because of this we also bought a vacation home in a sought after location that has tripled in value. [/quote]
