[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this. She care about you and want you to feel like you are no different and still having the same struggles.

I have been in similar situations. We used to be middle class but we are now upper upper middle class. 
We were talking with a group of friends (most of them middle class), and they were all complaining about inflation and how they feel it when they buy groceries. They had to cut their spending on groceries, etc. I was nodding in agreement. But the reality is that I'm not feeling it and haven't noticed it at all. I realized that I was nodding because I wanted to make them feel like we were still together and having similar problems. [/quote]

I do the same at my workplace. Our house is paid off, we have no debt, we have additional side hustles bringing income, substantial retirement savings. But whenever my older coworkers start complaining about money, I nod in agreement. Little they know that I could afford to quit my job at anytime and be fine. They think they I have mortgage just like they do. [/quote]

Trust me, there are a lot of people who are in the same situation as you and just nodding in agreement. In fact, you are probably nodding in agreement to people who could quit their job any time as well. [/quote]
