[quote=Anonymous]You gave a small example. What are your bigger ones? IME plenty of teachers in this area have higher paying spouses and I never got grief for having a 5%er spouse. But I also never showed off any signs of wealth in the school setting or talked up anything like my home office set up or home renovations. Wore “normal” teaching outfits from brands like Ann Taylor, LOFT, GAP, and shoes from Nine West and Target. No jewelry apart from my wedding set. Never brought up specific vacation spots when asked about what I did over break, just said that it was great to see parents or lovely to recharge. I did trade up to a Benz (lower mid range, not like a G Wagon or AMG) and when coworkers happened to see me park I did get some good natured ribbing like “Ooh Larla you drive a Mercedes??” But a car isn’t something you can hide. Maybe you’re thoughtlessly bringing up ways that you’re “living the good life,” and that’s why you’re getting a negative reception. [/quote]
