[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH makes almost 1M (including bonus) and you’d never know it if you met us.  We live in a nice but not extravagant house.  We drive normal not flashy cars.  Our kids go to public.  We go to Bethany for vacations, not Turks and Caicos.  I don’t work but other than that we wouldn’t seem to make that much.  So I think likely there are a lot of people making a lot of money and you just have no clue.  (Also, in our neighborhood I feel like we are on the lower income side based on the houses and cars and vacations of my kids’ friends)[/quote]

We make more than that and are UHNW.  Yet, in reality we are still fairly frugal.  I drive a 12 yo vehicle, person with newest car is our 17yo (since new cars are a better deal right now than used cars and we needed a vehicle for the teen).  We do take fancy vacations (Europe, Hawaii, etc) but still are focused on getting a good deal and are planned for.    Still fly coach unless business is an amazing deal---just cannot bring ourselves to spend the extra despite being able to "afford" it.   I find the people that actually have the money are not extravagant, those that appear extravagant are often leveraged to the max.

I find this pathetic. You’re a hoarder living so much smaller than you need to. You can’t take it with you. [/quote]

Personally I find it pathetic that you feel the need to tell others how to live.  I suspect a troll, or just simple jealously.

We are well aware we can't take it with us.  But we can provide well for our kids and any future grandkids/generations if we are fiscally smart.  We can donate to charity and help those who need it much more than we do.  We can (and do) give to our kids now, as we'd prefer they see the money while we are alive, not once they are 50+ and we are gone.  Own two homes already, both worth over $2M and drive luxury cars, just older ones as there is no need to replace a great vehicle that has no issues.  I'd say we are living just fine.
