[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I swear, I just don't get this.

I am in grad school and dh makes 60k.  We live in a moderate income 1 bedroom apartment in a luxury building.  We save at least 1k a month in addition to his retirement plan and some money in an IRA.  We have a one year old dd.  I don't feel poor, I actually don't feel any financial stress at all.  We mostly cook our own food and I just don't buy things I can't afford.  Soon we'll have more money, and I don't think I'll even change much about our lifestyle other than move to a slightly bigger place.  I see my friends with more money and I don't really feel "oh I wish I had all that stuff" because I don't really see that they have anything that I want.  I have a good dh and a healthy dd and I live in a clean, attractive home.  My parents are in the top 1% and they're very much the same.[/quote]

yes, but the feeling also has to do with how old you are.  Are you 25?
Fantastic!  Lots more time to save, move in the future, vacation, change careers you name it.
Or are you 45?  Totally different feeling financially!!![/quote]
