[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. It's a mindset and this area breeds it. I never thought at this level of income I'd want more, but as your income rises the expectations grow exponentially as well. [/quote]

This is total BS OP.  We make the same in NWDC and feel fabulously wealthy.  Our kids did NOT want to go to Disney, they have one pair of shoes, and before anyone says we're too frugal, DH drives an expensive car and our house is decked out. I drive a sexy ugly car. And, we could buy four laptops this month and not feel any crunch.  We have tons of friends in the neighborhood and don't feel any pressure to one up them. We make purchasing decisions based on our spending plan and personal interests.  If someone is doing tutoring, I think their kid needs it or they like the subject.  It's not about me or my choices.  Frankly, I think I'm too selfish, too focused on my own family, to try to guess at everyone's motivations. Every once in awhile someone will make a comment or bring up money, but I'm just not interested so cut them off.  The rat race is in your head.  We NEVER talk about money or gossip in front of the kids, we just don't.  Just stop.  What a miserable existence.[/quote]

There, there, dear. We know you are a superior human being. Now take your bottle and go to bed.[/quote]
