[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can afford to go SAH and still support your current lifestyle, how does it affect you one iota whether your neighbors are making 5x that amount? Explain it to me.[/quote] Because, your relative position to those you live near directly affects your happiness. Been studied a lot. We can all pretend it doesn't and that we are above that, but the science doesn't lie. [/quote] NP. I am curious how you are defining "relative position." It seems like you're trying to use HHI as a proxy for "position." But aren't there other factors in play? Is a family with a $750k HHI that is up to its eyeballs in debt and spends more than it earns in a better "position" than a family with $350k HHI that lives within its means? Even accepting your premise that your "position" relative to your neighbors is determinative of overall happiness, it seems like your focus on HHI alone is reductive.[/quote]
