[quote=Anonymous]Oh ffs OP. Get over your self and your sense of entitlement. I too had a prestigious education , did extremely well at a top ivy and yet also made very little money well into my 30s since I pursued a PhD.. Rented an apartment, bought first home at 38 after I married an equally poor (but interesting) person and had kids later in life. We don't make 300k combined in our late 40s and yes I have many friends pulling in 7-8 figures, a few with multiple homes in Aspen, London etc. While I'm envious at times (I wish we could afford a housekeeper:) it never occurred to me to lament how *unfair* it all is!  I mean, look at most people in the world. Look.at those who lose their lived ones to disease,illness. To those struggling to pay medical bills. I feel grateful bi have a good spouse, a stable job, health, don't have to worry about paying for food medicine rent etc.

So you are 34, happily married, in good health in the us with a HHi of 300k (without your contribution). I honestly think you have so, so much and it angers and saddens me you don't see it. I can only urge you to embrace it and be thankful and live your life now, stop obsessing on what others have, you're not a teenager.  If you want a baby, then get started. You don't need tons of money or a million dollar home for an infant . If you're still miserable I suggest volunteering with those less fortunate
