[quote=Anonymous]DH and I do not make nearly as much as his brother + wife (BIL), I'd estimate they make 2x what we make. They have a much bigger house, in a much nicer neighborhood, always drive fancy cars (Gwagon, SLR) and trade them out every few years. 
During covid, BIL asked DH to attend an informal meeting with a financial advisor (i think it was BIL friend) and do a check in. Turns out that they have almost no savings! SIL spends so much $ (tbf she prob makes most of it too) that BIL feels like he has to spend $ otherwise he doesnt get any. So they are both just spending spending spending and burning through cash. She also spends a ton supporting her parents, so BIL also buys random sht for his parents, like randomly buying them a new garage door. Their old one was fine, and they barely drive the car in the garage. Or a water softening system that they literally dont know how to use and dont know if its working lol. It's keeping up with the jones', but its his own wife hes trying to keep up with!

Anyways. Just to say, you have no idea whats happening in other peoples homes. Be happy with what you have and how you are doing - which is great! Congrats on your new promotion![/quote]
