[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some seriously bitter PPs who feel the need to tear down people who (a) are good savers/investors, (b) live differently than they do, (c) don't have student loans (for whatever reason), and/or (d) have high incomes early in their career. Your endless harping reeks of jealousy. Give it a rest. [/quote] Ah "jealousy," the rejoinder every trust fund baby or otherwise lucky person person hurls in response to someone calling them out on being spoiled, ungrateful, out of touch, self-righteous, stuck up, or smug. Perhaps you forgot, but the OP was complaining about her million dollar house at age 29, which doesn't look the mansion she envisioned. Others are acting like they are Suze Orman because they came out of college/grad school after their parents paid for everything and they were able to save for a house. Still others are the martyr saints who lived in a studio apartment while the rest of the devil-may-care heathens were living it up in two bedroom apartments. There is enough smugness on these threads to fill the Atlantic Ocean, and this is understandably annoying to some people. But you can go on believing that it is just raw jealousy if it assuages your guilt. [/quote] Maybe jealously isn't the right word. Regretting your own life choices perhaps? Is that better? Sorry that you weren't bright enough for that full-ride scholarship to the state school, sorry you didn't bust your a$$ in school to get a high-paying job, sorry you were busy drinking away your 20s instead of saving/investing/buying RE early, etc. Sorry all around. Sorry sad sack. OP was commenting on how crazy RE prices are. Do you disagree? You're too busy obsessing on how he/she could/could not afford it. [/quote]
