[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a great neighborhood in close in pg county (house is a small 4 bedroom but I can afford the $1200/ mortgage). Have a solid job (fed). My kids are in good schools (daughter did private for elem and now both in public). One does travel soccer and plays piano. The other dances and plays saxaphone. Both are smart and healthy. I drive a used Mazda 5 which I love. We enjoy vacations and outings to cultural activities... I put $600/month into college savings.... 
I just wonder, how could I not feel rich?[/quote]

I'm with you, OP. I don't feel poor at all either. We make about 120K and have a small 3 br close in Virginia with a $2500/mo mortgage. Excellent elementary school for one little girl and another on the way. We belong to our community pool, we go to Florida once or twice a year (to visit relatives & sometimes go to Disney) and recently bought  a  pre owned Subaru Forester with only 30,000 miles on it. We usually shop at Safeway for dinner (we loved that they used to have Military Mondays, and the gas discounts) but occasionally we shop at Whole Foods and /or eat out. We put a couple hundred dollars away each month for the kids' future, but other than wishing that $ amount could be more, I can't imagine what more could we want?! Life is good![/quote]
