[quote=Anonymous]I'm the 480k poster.  I say it is not an extravagant life because we don't have what many people would consider extravagant -- nice cars, clothes, designer bags, etc.  It does NOT mean that I am not extremely, extremely grateful for SECURITY and CONVENIENCE the money gives us.  And that is just what it is -- security and convenience.  I never worry about financial things and I never hesitate to do something that will save me time or effort, like hire a handyman or yard person.  That's security and convenience.
I have no designer things and no fancy cars.  My clothes are Ann Taylor and J Crew and Banana, kids clothes are target and gap aside from the occasional splurge for christmas outfits, etc.  As I said, we keep a full time nanny despite having both kids in school, and that is the one "luxury" I keep. We have a nice house that is close-in, but it's no mcmansion.
Truth be told, and I would never admit this publicly, when I see an expensive car drive out of the parking lot of our known-to-be-really-crappy local public school, I think those people's priorities are f'ed up.  yes, I know I know, you never know people's stories, maybe the school is a great fit for them, etc, but I would rather be in my 2003 toyota at the expensive school than vice versa.
