[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not flashy but people aren't dumb and can clearly add things up in their head. The fact that I'm a SAHM, the fact have 4 kids, well-dressed, location of house etc etc.[/quote]

Lots of people like you - perhaps most - are loaded down with debt. They are one job loss away from serious trouble.

A high net worth is different.

Totally.  I don't every assume SAHMs are wealthy unless there is a ton of OTT factors at play [/quote]

Really? Huh. Interesting. I am the opposite, I usually assume their husbands must make a lot of $$$$$ Most of the SAHMs I know have cleaning ladies, part time or even full time nannies, houses in "good" school districts, expensive cars (50k + SUVs), pricey gym memberships and exercise classes (pure barre etc.) and kids are in private preschool and extracurriculars.

I'm a SAHM with all of those things (oh wait, no nanny because I didn't want one). I've literally never, ever seen someone else with nice things and assumed they are in debt. I have a ton of SAHM friends and in our early 40's most families are buying second or third homes (vacation homes) and there is no doubt- they have the money. [/quote]

How's life in you very small bubble of wealth and privilege?[/quote]
