[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you only know people like this? Maybe you need to broaden your social circle.[/quote]

Any rich people I know were together way before any money was made, and their parents are definitely not wealthy, either.  They slogged along together for years, making sacrifices such as incredibly long commutes (two hours one way, each day, for years), old beater cheap cars, or tiny apartments, etc. - some people I know did all of that for years and years!  No white kitchens, no big house additions, no fancy brand name of the moment cars, no private schools, none of that.

I think you need better friends, and better standards, OP.  Ask yourself what you have done to better yourself?  Are there better jobs, more hours, higher aspirations you should apply yourself to?

If you are a low drive person, you can't expect to have things handed to you, that is not how life works. [/quote]

Ha this was us too. I was always a SAHM after having kids for various reasons, and as we finished school, paid off loans, saved for a down payment, etc., we lived in a 900 sq ft apartment, most of the time with just one bathroom, we had one cheap car that we still drive, I couponed and budgeted like crazy, etc. It wasn’t until a couple years ago, when DH was a fifth-year big law associate, that I bought makeup that wasn’t from the drugstore. I don’t think I’m some kind of superhero for doing this but it’s not like I married DH for the ease of a life of luxury with him. I do feel very blessed and I know I’m privileged, but if one day be decided he wanted to quit his job and find something that made a tenth of what he makes now I would love him any less. [/quote]
