[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people in the South tend to act rich even if they only have $200K income. It is nothing compared to NY, to answer the OP's question. Counrtry clubs and even private schools cost nothing compared to NY.  Southern people more than northern people like the pretense of being rich. Sometimes the Southern people are even convinced of it, despite actual dollars,  because of supposed family lore. Usually there is not much to substantiate. Southerners are so funny.[/quote]

Bingo!

We are early 30s and pulled in 1.2M last year, this year around 700k. We live in a townhouse in DC, have one car, modest clothes, hate fancy restaurants, etc.

In DC we are nobodies and want to stay that way. My one splurge is our golf club.

I’d imagine someone in the south with our income and at our age would be in a mansion, big jewelry, and driving a Maserati.  Different strokes. Our families are all the same and I think it stems from my grandparent’s frugality. They passed away with a 75M estate and their favorite restaurant was Wendy’s! [/quote]
