[quote=Anonymous]I have a set of friends who are top 1% of hhi. Have 2nd homes, buying teslas, vacation in Italy, Cartier watches full time nanny even though in doesn't work, etc. We are by no means doing badly but are more like top 20% of hhi around here. About 180k hhi. It is hard. Some of them are more aware of the income gap and don't throw it in our face. Some are new money and talk about material things all the time. When I'm with them, I like them, but if I saw them every day it would be annoying. Also I have to repeat to myself: you are doing well, this area is a bubble of wealth, and they aren't really trying to be obnoxious. I'm sure I seem rich to my sibling, who has kids my same age but has declared bankruptcy, barely pulls the rent together every month, does not even have $500 saved and has no retirement. [/quote]
