[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get what OP is saying.  We make more than OP and have a nice net worth.  We live in an expensive house that carries a high property tax burden.  Affording our house is no problem, but I acknowledge that a $25K tax bill on the house every year is not insignificant.  We own our cars outright and don't carry debt.  Technically we are in the top 1% of earners, but we consider ourselves 'working rich', meaning if the gravy train comes to a halt tomorrow we would be pressed to make some lifestyle decisions if the cashflow changes.  My family enjoys life, but we know money is not to be taken for granted.  Yes, we have savings, retirement accounts, college funded, as well as taking very nice vacations, we can eat out whenever we want, buy any groceries we want, attend any ticketed events/activities we want, wear any clothes we want, but with inflation and rising costs, I stop and ask if these things are worth the inflated costs.  $100 today isn't what it was 5 or 10 years ago.  DMV is not a cheap area.[/quote]
