[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you sound like a great mom. You've created great opportunities for your son and the hill is a wonderful place to be in. You should be proud of the decisions you're making. You're not saying that you can't afford the basics - I see no reason to move to some other COL where you don't have your village that you may have here. People act like it is easy to get up and move some place, and its not. [b]We have a high HHI ($500K), 2 working parents, 2 kids, and often feel that we aren't keeping up with the Joneses as well.[/b] I think part of it is living in the DC area. But if it doesn't bother you and your son, then keep forging ahead. [/quote]

If this is actually true you have severe mental issues.[/quote]

DP but if PP lives in a high income neighborhood, they may well often feel this way. We make even more than PP but I felt I couldn't keep up in some DC neighborhoods, so I chose to live in a more moderate income one, where I didn't feel that luxury cars and international vacations were "average." I just don't want to live like that, personally. And I didn't want my kids growing up with that skewed sense of normalcy either. [/quote]
