[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree PP - our HHI is 145$ and we live comfortably in NWDC. I can't buy every thing I want, and we go on one simple beach vacation a year. I cook dinner every night and we don't eat out often. Our cars are 12 and 6 years old subarus with no plans for new ones in sight. My kids wear hand me downs and clothes from Target. My husband and I pack lunch for work. I am a teacher so my hours make it so we don't need aftercare or camp. [b]I certainly don't feel poor. I feel fortunate. If you're always looking at what you DON'T have, you won't be happy. [/quote][/b] This is it. People look up the income ladder and see what they don't have. Glance back down the income ladder every now and then and appreciate what you do have! I get sucked in occasionally to thinking our house is small (1940s cape in N. Arlington) but then I visit my ILs in southern VA and their tiny, poorly kept houses and come back feeling like our house is a mansion. [/quote]
