[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We didn't become rich over night so we have grown into it. We maintain many of the habits of our MC life such as being frugal on many things but we travel first class and live very comfortably. We have lived in the same town for 30 years and we have maintained many of our early relationships though most of our friends have done quite well themselves. Also, all of my husbands siblings have done very well so there is no sibling resentment. [/quote]

I wish I could spring for first class...I just can't get myself to spend the money. And we can afford it.[/quote]

Yeah, same here. You think, I'm in the same big metal tube for the same amount of time and is the bigger chair you sit in for just 6 hours really worth an extre $1,400?  And conversely, sitting in this crappy cramped chair for 6 hours I'm saving myself $1,400. Inner monologue: "Come on, snowflake, toughen up! You can find better use for that $1 400!"  Then Group 6 is called and you wistfully walk past everyone in first class drinking mimosas to row 44 and have to jam your bag under the seat because the bins are full.[/quote]

Ugh yes and now I am dreading our redeye flight to Europe in a few weeks where we are taking our two adult kids. If it were just the two of us, I might have sprung for business, but alas, we cheaped out so we could all sit together as a family (with the exception of doing a direct flight). DH wanted me to get the two of us the business class and let them sit in economy.
