[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what are the choices you've made that you're really happy with? Learn to appreciate your choices and to respect the person you were when you made them. You've got a $150k job, for starters! You're not dependent on someone else for income or a roof over your head. You have the freedom to spend your money on yourself as you like--take some international vacations, treat yourself to a designer outfit (but don't spend all your retirement savings), write that novel in your spare time.

On a separate note. If I had a dollar for every time my own younger sister claimed I was jealous of her, I'd be rich. The only reason my sister and her husband have more money than us is because they decided not to have kids, which meant she doesn't have to work and spends her days cooking for him (red meat every day and twice on Sundays, also he hates vegetables and cheese, go figure), telling him how wonderful he is, and reminding the rest of us that he's a doctor (my husband the doctor had some patients who left their chicken on the counter to defrost like you're doing...). I wouldn't trade places with her for all the money they saved not putting kids through school and college.[/quote]
