OP is recounting laudable frugality. I don't understand why she doesn't understand that her in-laws WANTED to live that way, and that it made them happy.

I live that way too. I have 25M. I live a modest lifestyle. I don't need outward signs of wealth to keep me happy, and I certainly do not seek to attract attention to myself.

I think OP is jealous somehow.[/quote]

Yep. I think OP is really annoyed that they didn’t spend their money on her family, taking them on vacations, paying tuitions, maybe just giving expensive gifts on a regular basis. She’s also mad that she and her husband spent time helping them do things that they could have just paid someone else to do.

OP here - we have plenty of our own money.

I wish they had spent more to replace items that were worn, didn't work.  i wish they were more willing to have help when they needed it.[/quote]

And wouldn’t it have been better if they’d shared vacations and other fun experiences with their kids and grandkids?
