[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, if we lived somewhere less expensive I'd be more concerned. Here we live in an expensive house, but it isn't flashy. It's 2000 sq ft, post war build and on a smallish lot. It works fine for our family, but doesn't read as wealthy despite being worth 1.3M. We drive nonflashy cars (Kia and minivan) and spend our money on a couple of vacations a year, good childcare, and kid activities. If we lived someplace less expensive, we could live a much, much fancier life. I honestly am more worried that they won't appreciate how hard we worked to afford this life. That they'll look back and not realize that we actually earned high incomes, despite living a pretty unextraordinary existance. If they want to become a teacher or nurse or any other non-high income profession, they need to understand that they won't be able to stay in this area without drastically downgrading their expectations.
