[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how all the people who make less money need to rationalize it by saying they *must* spend more time with their kids or *must* prioritize family more.

What a load.  Some of us just happened upon jobs, through luck, education, smarts or whatever, that pay us more.  You all come across as extraordinarily bitter.

Listen, we have a $1M home.  We also have high incomes.  We have dinner pretty much EVERY NIGHT at 7 pm as a family.  We both volunteer at school (public) and have flexible enough jobs to take off for lunches with the kids, etc.  We just simply MAKE MORE MONEY.  I don't begrudge my friends who work just as hard, if not harder, at their jobs.  Some are in teaching, journalism, etc.  They work their asses off, spend LESS time with their kids, but have rewarding jobs...that pay a lot less.

It isn't that hard...[/quote]

But you're bragging.  (It's anon.  So you could be lying.)  You represent many on this thread who feel the need to praise how they've "made it" and just how flexible and wonderful their schedules are - all while spending major quality time with their kids.

I simply can't believe it's true in all honesty.  Even to feel the need to brag anonymously is a cover up for insecurity.

I have rich friends.  My father's friend just cut her a check for over half a million for a condo in VA. She's one of 6 kids, btw.  Yet you'd never look at them and realize how wealthy they are.  And yes, I suppose it's "new money," as they aren't descendants of the Rothschild family.  But they (all 6 kids and the parents) live in modest homes, shop at "regular" stores, and don't talk about money.  (I know b/c I'm a close family friend.)

So again, this need to brag is brought on by some inadequacy.  [/quote]
