OP FYI,  not everyone lost money in real estate.  Timing and knowing what you are doing is everything.  Don't assume just because people have nice things they are in over their heads.  Some people are self made.  Very few, but there are a couple.  Now, this is certainly not the time for making money in real estate.

I find these posts offensive because I think they are based on assumptions of other peoples money, which ensure you will never be happy.  Why do so many here not get this simple idea or try to make it complicated when it is not?

We are self made.  Our children have no idea what we have.  It also so happens that our money is tied up and not available for handouts.  You would be surprised what happens when people think you have this or that.  They somehow believe that everything you have is a luxury.  Not so.  We don't walk around flashing our wealth, for one.  People who have money in the truest sense are those that you would not suspect.  It is the thing that DCUMERs hate the most - old money values.  No, I do not care to discuss old money.  Most of you would never know old money if it was right under your nose.

My point OP - stop worrying about others so much.  Stop striving for others definitions of wealth, or your perceived definitions of wealth, because you will never be happy.

This board is becoming known for the "how much do you make" type questions.  Which explains why so many are so miserable.

OP, the question is quite simply:  do you live within your means and can you pay your bills?  It is good for children to know they are not getting their every whim, and that if they want something bad enough they can either save for it or wait until Christmas or birthday.  [/quote] the "old money/new money" argument is tired and stupid and only serves to illustrate what a snob you appear to be.

many hard working immigrants fit your description, and i guarantee you that they are not "old money" but people who pulled themselves up from almost nothing, worked hard, saved, instilled the value of education in their offspring.  it's not about "old money" or "new money", it is about personal values and hard work (and no desire to "one up" your neighbor).[/quote]
