[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents are doctors and I married a fireman. I am a teacher. What peoole didn't expect is that my husband would start a painting b uisness on his off days and over 12 years it's grown into an extra 200k a year for our family. We now have 3 crews. I wonder to myself if that didn't happen (bc we truly didn't expect it) would I still be happy? I think so but I do find myself relived that we can afford some of the comforts I had growing up. Mostly in reference to my kids...competitive sports for example. However because our careers are middle class our social circle is too and I find these people much much more down to earth and genuine then the upper middle class circles I grew up in. Even my mom commented on the fact we have better friends! [/quote]

Wow you really married down. It must be a big struggle for you....seeing what your parents have and what you could have. I can feel the tension in your post. [/quote]

I wouldn’t call marrying a fireman “ marrying down”. I would call that being married to a heroic, selfless man. It’s absolutely sickening to me that ball players and celebs get paid millions, yet our military, cops, fireman, etc., get paid barley anything to risk their lives for our safety and freedom. You married a great man, never feel bad about that. [/quote]

Yes marrying a ball player or celeb is hitting the lottery. [/quote]
