[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can relate OP. I grew up comfortably MC in a rural area (i.e. no pricey hobbies, cars, or trips to Europe, but we had a 2 story Cape Cod in a neighborhood of smaller ranches and I always knew I'd go to college). Now just living in the DC area on an income comparable to my parents' at my age, my standard of living feels much lower, mainly due to the cost of housing and decline of pensions so I have to save a ton more. Sometimes I am ashamed of my tiny, shabby house. Honestly I am not sure how to deal but I try to do little things to make my house nicer, [b]be grateful that I don't have to think twice about signing up my kid for activities, and remind myself that I won't regret saving a ton.[/b] [/quote] Lol, here's another one that should just shut up. Probably has a couple million in savings, "[doesn't] think twice about" certain discretionary expenses, but is mournful that she can't also have an Instagrammable house on top of that.[/quote]
