[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, OP, this has been true for me. It can feel defeating at times, [b]especially knowing this is likely to get worse as we get older[/b]. We try to just focus on ourselves, our financial goals, making smart choices for us. Staying of social media helps a lot. We've also started thinking about moving to a lower COL area in a few years when that will be a reasonable option due to jobs. I think where we are now, we're kind of on the bottom end of the range for our peer group in the DMV. We're still very fortunate and I don't want to lose sight of that, but it's hard when the people around you have a lot more. I think moving somewhere that our HHI and financial situation is more "average" would be beneficial for us on a lot of levels. [/quote] That's what's giving me anxiety. It's really, really hard to shake this feeling. You feel hopeless and overcome with dread.[/quote]
