[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP sounds like a perfectly nice person, and it's great that she is trying to educate herself, but I have to admit even though I am in the 1%, that there is something grating about someone coming on the site who has a single earner income of $350k in their 30s asking for financial advice.  It's not even first world problems-- it's problems of the .1%.  Sorry I try to not post negatively but I thought it might be relevant to some of the other negative posts.[/quote]

I know that you posted this in as nice of a way as possible, but your message really annoys me.  Why is OP not allowed to ask questions about buying a house because she has a better financial situation than most people?  I can't stand this attitude on DCUM.  I appreciate that you at least communicated it nicely, but she's no less entitled to ask questions or have concerns than someone with less money.  You're basically marginalizing her because of her financial situation. [b] You would NEVER even consider doing that if her financial situation were that she has no money. [/b] Again, PP, I appreciate how nicely you worded your comment, but it still really bothered me.  I feel like I see this kind of "you're not allowed to have any problems or difficulties because you have money" ALL OVER DCUM.[/quote]

That's because if she had no money an anonymous internet board might be the only way she could get any help, whereas a person with a $350k income can, and probably should, pay for financial advice like this.  Of course people with money can have problems and difficulties, but  it's not clear that questions about how to spend 150k in savings and 350k/yr is a "problem or difficulty".[/quote]

So DCUM is only for the financially challenged?  Let me guess, you have financial problems and dislike those who don't.  Wonderful.[/quote]

Is "financially challenged" your description of everyone who makes less than $350k (in their 30s no less)?  If so, then I admit I will probably be annoyed by your posts.  But that doesn't mean I don't wish the best for OP (and "the best" may or may not in fact be free anonymous internet advice).[/quote]
