[quote=Anonymous]I think it is his attitude, not his $ that OP is jealous of!  I know the type of which she speaks and have a couple male neighbors in mind that meet her description:).

I guess just try not let it get to you.  I am in the position of your SIL/BIL in my family, but we downplay everything.  My sister wanted to start Xmas gifts to all of the nephews as her boys were approaching college-age and I knew $ was an issue---even though mine are very small I totally agreed.  For me- the Holidays are about the fun times we all have at the family get-togethers and dinner and NOT at all about the presents.  I still don't buy lavish gifts for my parents or siblings.  It would feel too much like showing off and my parents still like to treat US.  My DH is very unassuming and nobody knows how much he really makes.  We don't drive fancy cars or do anything too extravagant.  We definitely don't show pics of the vacation homes we rent, etc.  The only time I have gone against this policy was at HS graduation for my nephews.  I gave them each a nice-size check and it was very graciously and thankfully appreciated.  They worked so hard and did so well--I also know with 3 starting college in less than 5 years of each other it is tight.

Try to let it go and laugh about when you are alone.  He is overly compensating for something.  I think it's pretty pathetic when people are that demonstrative over material possessions, salary, etc.[/quote]
