[quote=Anonymous]OP I think really what it comes down to is that you can't have it all, especially if you're not a gajillionaire. So you make your choices based on your priorities. We live in a small house in Arlington with a kitchen that is nothing short of maddening because we don't want to commute more than 30 minutes each way to our jobs. I work at a job that is professional and fine, but not super high paying or super fascinating because it allows me to work my 8 hours and get the hell out of there to spend more time with our kids. We drive old cars and don't really take vacations. But are we happy? Yeah, I'd say we really are. Our neighbors are warm and real and our families are here, which is really important to us. Our kids are growing up in a real community, with neighbors who look out for them and grandparents and aunts, uncles and cousins who they see pretty much every week. But yeah, I have to fight the keep up with the Joneses urges too...lol.[/quote]
