[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH makes almost 1M (including bonus) and you’d never know it if you met us.  We live in a nice but not extravagant house.  We drive normal not flashy cars.  Our kids go to public.  We go to Bethany for vacations, not Turks and Caicos.  I don’t work but other than that we wouldn’t seem to make that much.  So I think likely there are a lot of people making a lot of money and you just have no clue.  (Also, in our neighborhood I feel like we are on the lower income side based on the houses and cars and vacations of my kids’ friends)[/quote]

We make more than that and are UHNW.  Yet, in reality we are still fairly frugal.  I drive a 12 yo vehicle, person with newest car is our 17yo (since new cars are a better deal right now than used cars and we needed a vehicle for the teen).  We do take fancy vacations (Europe, Hawaii, etc) but still are focused on getting a good deal and are planned for.    Still fly coach unless business is an amazing deal---just cannot bring ourselves to spend the extra despite being able to "afford" it.   I find the people that actually have the money are not extravagant, those that appear extravagant are often leveraged to the max.
