[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't actually have to move to leave the rat race. There's plenty of middle class people in the DC area who live normal lives.[/quote]

Op here. The problem is that we aren’t middle class and pretending that we are is both unrealistic and just dishonest to everybody involved. [/quote]

“Pretending” you’re middle class???
Wow, OP. You sound insufferable. Stay in DC.[/quote]

What's your criticism here exactly?[/quote]

There are lots of really wealthy people in dc who are quiet about it and just plugging along - not really in the rat race and doing jobs that they enjoy. [b]Teaching, non profit, social work, etc.[/b] I think some of this is your attitude and it’s not going to be any different anywhere else. [/quote]

Not OP here, but I'm guessing OP doesn't work in these traditionally low paying jobs and that's part of the reason why it doesn't make sense to pretend like they're middle class.  Maybe they have high paying careers that they like and don't want to switch careers either.  I don't think the trick here is to change your job to something that doesn't pay anything.  Most of us have worked our entire life to be where we are career wise and there's no sense in giving it up just to cosplay being poor.

FWIW, I get really annoyed when rich people pretend like they're struggling like the rest of us because they're an ~artist~ when everything is actually just funded by family money.  And I find it hilarious that some posters feel better being fooled by someone's masking than to know the truth of someone's financial well being.[/quote]

+1 A  lot of artists have family money and/or are married to high earning spouses. It's irritating when they pretend to have the same struggles as the starving artists supporting themselves solely on the earnings from their profession.[/quote]
