I agree. Those of us with less make compromises because we have to.  Those with more seem to expect they should have everything. Well life doesn't necessarily work that way.  Deal with reality - not what conditions were like 30 years ago.  [/quote]

That's the problem - you think making more money means you don't have to make compromises anymore. This is absolutely not the case. The compromises may be different from yours, but they are compromises nonetheless. Next you may think that people who make more money  have compromises that are silly or not really compromises at all. But keep in mind that those who make 1/2 as you do may have the same view as your compromises.  [/quote]

All I can say is I don't hear much about the people with a HHI 400k making compromises. Maybe if they did - they wouldn't be on DCUM claiming poverty.[/quote]

We are cutting our maid service down to once every two weeks during the summer since we'll be paying weekly for the servicing of our pool and landscaping during summer months. We are stressed that the house would become too messy during that second week, driving everyone crazy.  We host a lot of weekend parties for friends and family and worry about the image of a messy home.

There, see? Having to make compromises. You may feel this is silly, but share one of your compromises and I am sure it would seem silly to someone who makes far less than you do.[/quote]
