[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP posted lots of details about money.  How much everything costs every single month and then supposedly was asking what costs seemed unusually high.

Lots of people weighed in to answer the request.

Then there was lots of push back against those answers.  Maybe the push back was from the OP and maybe not.

But no where did OP say ok thanks for giving the feedback I asked for.

Do what really was the pointy of the thread?[/quote]

OP here.

I said thanks several times actually!  Go back and read!

Also, to the person who suggested I consider how I spend my time, yes, I think that is a valuable thing to do, thanks for the suggestion!  I do think as I try to be intentional about spending I will make sure to spend on things that provide me with more time (which is why I feel zero guilt about the housekeeper, even if I feel some guilt about the clothing) and not on things that make more work for me (which presumably too many consumer goods would, although, mostly as I said we just buy things that are higher end).

The point of the thread is that, jumbled in the mix of the posters who merely express outrage at the spending of the well-off, are those who give really thoughtful responses that I appreciate.  And, posting on DCUM is helpful because I can't talk about these things in real life with anyone other than my spouse (because I don't want to reveal our habits or income details to anyone IRL), and with my spouse we just affirm each others choices rather than providing an outside, unbiased perspective.
