[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in SF.  I make under six figures and live in a tiny one bedroom. Rent control, though even with that I'll be priced out in a few years.  Do you go on vacation a couple of times a year?  I don't. I don't really even leave the city. I don't buy fancy things.

But sometimes I reserve one of the conference rooms at work that faces the Bay Bridge and I look at it and am grateful I'm here. Or I go to the Ferry Building on my lunch hour. Or I go for a little hike through GG Park. Three times a week in winter there's a farmer's market I can easily get to.

While sure, I wish to hell I had a bathtub and a dishwasher, I'm not wishing for a McMansion. I'm satisfied shopping at Old Navy and Target's clearance racks.  Would I like to have a 2 bedroom condo? Yes. Would I like to be able to shop at Macys? Yes. But I'm okay with how things are. I can do what I want, and not worry one bit about what's popular. People like me for who I am here, not how I dress. [/quote]

This is so sad.

There are so many places you can go that have farmers markets and nice views. You don't have to live like this. [/quote]
Sad lives are only lived by sad people. Don't be jealous of someone for being happy with something different than would make you happy.

Shhhhhh it's the only way she can make her sad life seem less sad[/quote][/quote]
