[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't actually have to move to leave the rat race. There's plenty of middle class people in the DC area who live normal lives.[/quote] Op here. The problem is that we aren’t middle class and pretending that we are is both unrealistic and just dishonest to everybody involved. [/quote] “Pretending” you’re middle class??? Wow, OP. You sound insufferable. Stay in DC.[/quote] What's your criticism here exactly?[/quote] There are lots of really wealthy people in dc who are quiet about it and just plugging along - not really in the rat race and doing jobs that they enjoy. Teaching, non profit, social work, etc. I think some of this is your attitude and it’s not going to be any different anywhere else. [/quote] My uber-wealthy cousin got a job teaching at her local middle school. She lives in a ginormous house and drives an Audi. She probably uses her paycheck to buy shoes. She is a very down to earth, unpretentious person who does not flaunt her wealth, but she doesn't hide it either. She just does her job and lives her life. No pretending required. Not in the rat race. She inherited her wealth. [/quote]
