[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More a rant than anything else. I work really hard. I recently was promoted and am now making close to $300K on my own. My spouse is largely a stay at home parent but they make side income, but not a huge amount so the majority of our household income is my own. We live comfortably but I do not feel financially comfortable spending money on things like jewelry or designer bags/clothes, etc.

But after spending Thanksgiving with my siblings and their spouses, I can’t help feeling behind. All the women were decked out in recognizable designer jewelry and bags (think Cartier, Van Cleef, Goyard). They are all successful too and older but I felt like even though I’m doing well for myself, I have nothing to show for it.

I know I need to get over it. I know it’s the responsible thing to do not to waste money, but it makes me feel like I’ll never catch up to my siblings.

Anyone else btdt? [/quote]

OP, curious - who is going to fund your retirement?? [/quote]
