[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try not to be smug about having a kid who excels academically in an office the charts way, and the fact that DH and I are set up for early retirement in our early 30s. But I know I don't succeed.

The smugness comes from the belief that we made these things happen. DD was struggling at school I usually so we made some early investments in her academics and they really paid off. And DH and I are super savers who eschewed a lot of spending in order to squirrel money away and that paid off big time with several major investments so we are able to bump up our timeline. I am just super proud of us for this stuff and I struggle with being graceful about it. I could stand to be humbled at the moment.[/quote]

Your post only makes sense if you had kids while you were in college or your “early retirement” is due to inheritance or your child is still lower elementary (in which case God help you when reality slaps you).  Likely all of the above - good luck.[/quote]

Yeah the ages didn't add up for me either. Like, is PP 30 and her child is 6?[/quote]
