We keep our cars.

I will never believe that there are this many people that earn seven figures.  And are so casual about it – “over a mil.”

Sorry, I don’t believe you people.  And yes, I do think you’re lying on an anonymous board to make yourselves feel better.[/quote]

Why? $1M these days is just upper middle class.  Two doctors together can pull in a combined salary of $1M.  Or a physician + lawyer, lawyer + accountant, small business owner + doctor.

It's basically just two higher end professional degrees or business owners. [/quote]

Well, for starters, those very high-paying jobs usually require lots of hours and/or sacrifices.  Two such jobs are not conducive to a peaceful family life, so you often end up with a $500K earner and a $150K earner, thus falling well short of seven-figure-land.

That's just ONE reason I think most of you are full of it.[/quote]

Even if you knew me in real life, you would assume my income is more like $350k. I'm an attorney working as a partner for an accounting firm, earning $1.3m. I work 100% from home, and my standard uniform is yoga pants and a hoodie. People usually assume I'm a SAHM and I don't correct them unless there is a specific reason to. We've never bought a new car, and are generally not all that conspicuous in our consumption: big house but in a low-key neighborhood, public schools, etc. [/quote]

Good for you.  I don't earn 7-figures, but I have a tenant who does.  They earn a little bit more than you but are constantly traveling around the world for work.  It's a good thing I have a smart-home system so I can let in service workers remotely because my tenant is always away.

If you have a WFH, 7-figure job, congrats but my statement still stands that "those very high-paying jobs *USUALLY* require lots of hours and/or sacrifices."[/quote]
