[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes money provides so much.

Where does it fall on your list of priorities?  If you have money is it important that you let other people know by material things? Do you assume people are jealous of you?

It seems like many responses point to money money money being the driving factor. [/quote]

It falls very high on my list of priorities, as you could argue our entire society was built on money and its acquisition.

My DH and I are very comfortable (but not rich) and I don’t do anything to show this off to the world.  We do take nice vacations but otherwise I shop mostly at Target, TJ Maxx etc.  We share a car and it’s not a luxury brand.  We live in a good school district and our kids go to public.

I don’t assume anyone is jealous of me because that’s not how I see the world.[/quote]

You’re very comfortable but get clothes from Target? Is it to save money or because you don’t care about clothing brands? Not trying to be judgmental, just genuinely curious. Once I made more money I bought nicer clothes since it’s not a big cost in the greater scheme of things anyways.[/quote]

Target provides a pretty good value considering how poor the quality of expensive clothing is at this point.  People compliment my clothes all the time and it’s often my pieces from target.[/quote]

+1. Target, TJ Maxx, Costco. I found that once we had a significant amount of money, I know longer care if people know. I carry a $25 no-name purse for TJ Maxx and drive an minivan, and it’s not knew. Buying stuff isn’t the thrill it once was. [/quote]

Just curious how much is a significant amount of money? My mom used to buy me clothes from TJ Maxx all the time as a kid and I don’t think I can ever fo back there because I can’t help but associate it with either being poor or super frugal…[/quote]

That seems like it’s your personal hang up and unrelated to how much money you have.  I have noticed people who have lots of money or grew up with money don’t mind being frugal.  There’s nothing wrong with a $40 dress from TJ Maxx or a $500 dress if they like either.  They just buy what they want because they can afford it and it looks good.[/quote]
