[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just find this area’s obsession with how much money their neighbors have pretty gross. If you have enough for what you need, who cares? There will always be people with more than me, but I am thankful that I can give to those who have less and I’m thankful that I don’t have to ask anyone for money. Life is too short to be so jealous. [/quote] I think this happens here because it is HCOL area and you meet a lot of folks like we're describing (Associate level attorney and sah/part time/ reelancer mom who were able to buy a starter home in an expensive area like Chevy Chase, have more than two kids who are lifers in private schools, have club memberships, take multiple vacations a year (beach, skiing, Europe), and have significant household help. If you socialize with these folks and don't have family help, you just know this doesn't add up financially. I'm not sure it is jealousy per se, more like curiosity for most of us.[/quote]
