[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. All your comments have been so interesting. I don't consider myself a shrewd real estate investor- it is true that we just got lucky. My point remains that while 2.5 million is a lot of money (regardless of how we acquired it), we live a middle class lifestyle. Ie: older cars, use coupons, shop at target and buy things on sale/clearance, minimal eating old, use hand-me-downs, 1 modest vacation/year, kids in public schools, the list goes on.

I'm not saying we don't have more money saved than others here, but our lifestyle is middle class. We will keep working until our youngest is done with college. So we're not living much differently than most people.[/quote]

OP, this is getting so old.  Can't you realize that it doesn't matter how you choose to live - it's that you HAVE THE CHOICE to live the way you choose.  You have a safety net.  A big safety net!  That's being rich.  I personally don't define rich as not having to work - I define it as not having to worry.  And you clearly don't have to worry.  You could take your millions, move to an area with a much lower cost of living - and live comfortably for the rest of your (and your kids') lives.  Many of us don't have the option of doing that - but again, being rich isn't relative - it doesn't matter what "many of us" have or don't have to define your level of richness.  [/quote]
