[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a friend who I think lives outside her means.. but I don't know.

What I know is that within a year or two she went from living a modest but comfortable life to owning a massive, beautiful home decorated straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog. She never wears the same designer clothes, has fancy cars and a fancy boat, vacations regularly to Bermuda, and became a stay at home mom. Her kids go to private school, and wear designer/trendy clothes, plus she has a part time nanny available whenever she needs a sitter, and just seems to have a lot of additional wealth.  Her husband has a good job- but the instant change in a short period of time makes me wonder.

That being said, my gut instinct with them is that the additional funds are coming from a trust/inheritance that I am unaware of.  I still think they went from zero to 180 on the spending... way too fast... but I have to believe their is a source of income beyond the husbands salary.[/quote]

+1. I know two families exactly like this. [/quote]
