[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it’s a lie the class obsessed tell themselves to soothe their feelings of inadequacy. [/quote] Well, it's how UMC can become wealthy. For those who truly make a ton of money or inherited it, they don't need to do this. We make $400k in the DC suburbs. We have a smaller SFH in a good neighborhood with excellent public schools. We drive our cars for 10+ years and buy a standard Toyota/Honda. If we had upgraded the house, cars, and/or paid for private schools, we would not be saving nearly as much and would just be working each month to pay for our expenses. Being frugal has been a game changer - you can't make it up on Starbucks and homemade lunches. It's because our monthly expenses are $5000+ lower than they could be, and we are investing all of that and have been for years. [/quote]
