[quote=Anonymous]I actually feel the opposite. DH and I had no parental help and had 6 figure student loans to pay off when we first married. Through some luck in real estate, we were able to pay off those loans in 3 years and our careers took off and we were able to save enough to upgrade our housing situation and lifestyle. We are diligent savers and not spendthrift, although we enjoy international vacations and live in a nice neighborhood. Most of our friends are in a similar situation so there is no disparity there. All my in-laws, however, earn 5-10x less than we do, and seem put off by us even though we do not flaunt our wealth in any way. Moreover, MIL and FIL, are constantly bailing out DH’s siblings and their families, but do nothing for us whatsoever. Far from being embarrassed at our success, I would like some recognition of the hard work we put in to get to where we are. Instead, I constantly hear them bragging about how so and so became a manager at an Applebees or a bank teller. [/quote]
