[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I assumed my married life would be similar to my parents and my family life growing up. I would live in a nice single family house in a nice neighborhood. I would have 2 cars and a dog. I would decorate the house for Christmas. I would have nice furniture.

Well...I married someone with whom our combined income does not make that life feasible in Northern Virginia. We rent an apartment and cannot afford to have nice furniture. It now seems that that life will never come by to us. I am trying to make peace with it. Anyone else in similar circumstances?[/quote]

Was that a real choice for you? If you didn't inherit money, didn't establish a lucrative career, win a lottery or marry a wealthy guy? Good news! All isn't lost. If you are determined, go back to college or start a business. It would take time but you can do it. That bring said, learning to appreciate what you have, managing it smartly and working to add some more can significantly improve your situation. Its often about perspective. A person occupied by regrets, envy and nostalgia is merely wasting present and whatever it has to offer.[/quote]
