[quote=Anonymous]My best friend just moved into a new build mansion and it forced me to confront the fact that actually, practically all of our friends have moved into homes at least two to maybe even ten times the value of our home. High status zip codes. Many of them have vacation homes. Outside of my husband's college friend selling his company for tens of millions, I really don't know where everyone's money is coming from. It is demoralizing. The real gut punch is one friend who lived near us. I thought they were making what we make, but then they moved into a $2.5 million dollar home, and held onto their old house, which is worth about what our house is worth, to rent it out. None of them are flashy or obnoxious, but it still feels like we're being left in the dust. I honestly think we've become the poor friends, so there's an embarrassment there as well. I can't stop thinking about where we went wrong and we're too old to pivot.[/quote]
