[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're 52 and 54 with a NW of over $10M saved all on our own (no family money).  Not rich by any means but we do have a high HHI.  We've saved aggressively since we started working and don't spend a ton. [/quote]

What do you mean you’re not rich?![/quote]

I think people say these sorts of things because it gives them comfort that they’re still humble people and true to their roots. Any objective person would say they’re rich. These people just can’t bear the thought of it because to them, when they were growing up, rich people were cheats or dishonest in some way. [/quote]

Interesting. I think it shows the opposite of humility and shows that they're never going to be satisfied.[/quote]

No it’s neither. We know that we are rich, but if we actually say that, DCUM tells us we are broke and don’t know what we are talking about because Bezos still has more money than we do.

I’ve actually tested this out. One post saying how hard it was to live on $300k and a differed post saying how great it was. I was attacked either way. It’s the same with NW posts. If I say I feel totally great about our $4M a tok of people will chime in they would NEVER retire on such a stupidly low amount of money. That’s DCUM for you. [/quote]
