[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]once you have no debt (save a reasonable mortgage), a solid emergency fund, and are saving responsibly for retirement each month, you need to declare a win, realize how good you have it compared to even people of above-average means and luck, stop torturing yourself, and enjoy life. Someone will always have more (and many, many will have less).[/quote]

1000 times YES !!

This forum suffers from affluenza.

The All-Consuming Epidemic defines it as "a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety, and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more."

+1. I think anytime you have intelligent people making good money, you'll get some affluenza as everyone thinks they need to make more. Yet this forum seems to be ridiculous. The constant -- this area is soooo expensive, no one can possibly raise a family here for under 400k -- is a bit ridiculous. And people here need a newsflash -- DC is not the most expensive city in America or in the world; nor does it have the worst commutes -- so all those excuses of -- you must be close-in are over the top and reek of people who have never had to commute in LA or London or from Long Island to Manhattan.[/quote]
