[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP. We have been trying to move from our downtown row home where we've raised two kids and owned for 20 years. Even with significant equity and a windfall from a parent who passed away, a new house may not be attainable. I am trying to practice gratitude for what we have. I say that realizing I have done a bad job of that, every week dragging kids to open houses we can't afford, the grass is always greener, etc.

this am my 13 year old casually mentioned when she grows up she wants to make more money so her family can have nicer things. It broke my heart. My parents were immigrants and sacrificed all for me and my brother. We had excellent educations. But my values drew me to journalism and now nonprofits. Same for my husband, except for the immigrant background. I feel like I have taught them to value the wrong things. Like telling them not to obsess about body weight while complaining about my weight. I vowed this am to do a better job. There is a difference between wants and needs. If we always insist on more, bigger, more expensive and prestigious, we will never win.[/quote]

There's nothing wrong with wanting to earn a good income to support yourself. Stop with the virtue signaling/political identity BS. Journalism, nonprofit work, and other low-paying SJW professions are for trust fund kids. You got your inheritance  and bought at very low prices yet you're still not able to afford a better lifestyle.[/quote]
