[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always felt that my peers look down at me and think we are poorer than we are because we are very conservative with our money.  However, I just made another hefty payment on our mortgage and we own less than $30k on our house which is probably worth between $500-$600K.  We live in the country so it's kind of hard to figure out what our house would sell for.  We have 1.5M saved in retirement $200K saved for college and my kids attend private school.

My husband and I both have masters and graduated from school without debt.  He is 7 years older than I am.  We've worked really hard as we are both $100kish earners.  We've probably received $200K in assistance from our families in adulthood (i.e. $10K in Christmas checks both sides) for the past 10 years.

I would love to tell someone IRL that our mortgage will be paid off this year but I know I can't as most of my friends/family live beyond their means.

Thrilled!  Anyone else in a similar situation?

A similar situation?  Like I'm a sanctimonious bitch crowing about how my family is living beyond their means, yet I'm taking their money from them?

Yeah, No, can't relate.[/quote]
