[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol at all the holier than thous picking on OP for being honest about noticing and wanting the nicer things, when 99% of them are always on this board lamenting how you can barely get by and scrape into the middle class at 350k.[/quote]

Bullsh*t.

The OP talks about wanting a "luxury car" and 5 stars hotels.  That's not wanting nice things, that's being ridiculous.

I left Biglaw -- the law entirely, actually -- with over $5 million precisely because I hated that attitude.  I'm so much happier surrounding myself with real people.  [/quote]

Wait -- luxury cars and 5 star hotels AREN'T the nicer things, they're ridiculous? [b]Then what are the "nicer things"??[/b][/quote]

Time.[/quote]

Give me a break. You know this is about things people can buy with money -- sure family, time, etc. are the MOST important things in life, but can't be purchased. To me the "nicer things" in life are the monetary stability that come with retirement, college savings etc. But I assume OP has taken care of those things sufficiently and thus is now focused on the material nicer things like cars and vacations. Nothing wrong with that, she has worked hard to get there. OP -- maybe share it with your like minded biglaw types of friends, not the non profit types who are more about causes than money.[/quote]

PP here. LMAO. Sorry but gimme a break. Are we now going to talk about the existential issues and how love is the most valuable. *giggles* cmon man.[/quote]
