[quote=Anonymous]I am not envious of wealth per se, but I am periodically envious of our friends' travels abroad or vacation homes (not anything specifically about them, just being able to have a getaway is a luxury I would love to have). The people we know with more money than us don't talk about it, except if the topic of estate planning comes up.  Even then, it's in the context of family relationships, different approaches (money is to enjoy, money is to pass on), and/or anxieties and hopes of one person or another.  I.e. we talk with our friends at real issues in their lives, not how much their new chairs cost.

My frustration with not always having enough to do everything we might like (and who does?) is totally separate from what other people have.  I can't think of a single person whose whole life I would like to exchange for mine, and that's saying a lot as DH and I have each been through some things as kids that most people don't have to deal with.

As I write that, thank you, OP!  I hadn't really realized that as much as I sometimes fantasize that more money would be great, I wouldn't trade the total package just to be rich.[/quote]
