[quote=Anonymous]I don't mean this unkindly but you really need to stop thinking so much about what other people think of your financial situation.  There's no shame in not having as much money as your peers or family and putting pressure on yourself to hide your financial situation is pointless.  Own it.  My DH and I were doing very well financial until we had kids with special needs.  Now, we're struggling.  You have student loans, we have therapy bills.  Whatever.  DH's sister is the opposite.  Her DH makes tons of money, she stays at home with the kids, they go on fabulous vacations several times a year and have a lifestyle we can only envy.  They know our situation and are considerate of it.  They don't expect us to give the lavish birthday gifts to their kids that they give ours, they invite us to their parties and celebrations and show that they care about us, not our ability to keep up with them financially.  It sounds like your ILs are the same way. What a wonderful thing to rent a house near you so everyone can visit.  Don't be ashamed of your situation, own it![/quote]
