[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as you're happy and have a fulfilling career, so what?[/quote]

That's exactly what I thought at 25, but I didn't realize how much of a difference income makes on every area of your life.  Where you can live, where your kids go to school, when or if you can ever retire, if you can travel, if you can afford certain types of healthcare, how you live, the security you feel, the security you can offer your family (parents or children), etc.

It never ends.[/quote]

No necessarily. I live in what others would consider a crappy part of Montgomery county, my kids went to public high school and colleges. I have made 7 figures for the last 8 years. I just like the peer group and lack of pretentiousness/competitiveness. I also am not very make up and fashion conscious so do not fit in Potomac crowd. I do not at all consider my self more enlighten than my income peer group or better than my neighbor/social group. It just is what it is. I’m happy in that environment and each person has the opportunity to choose where they feel most comfortable. Retiring early and looking forward to cooking more than hamburgers and tacos. [/quote]

As long as you’re happy.

Do you own a business? Curious what you do?
