[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I'm not incorrect about how the wealth was obtained.  All the parties involved have never had high paying jobs.  For instance, the lawyer I mentioned making $100K is a federal attorney.  Maybe $100K is a low estimate and he's actually making $150K--certainly I don't know his exact salary but it's not like he's making a ton of money (and never did).

And for all those who ask "how do i know these things about people?"  Well, they're open and honest about them.  People talk about such things.  Not sure I would.

And each family was given money by parents, not grandparents.  I wrote grandparents incorrectly.  Not that this matters or changes things.

That all said, I said my piece, and now I'm done.  I'm perfectly okay with our present financial state.  [b]We were given 100K for a down payment for our house from parents (in addition to the $300K we had saved).  SO in a way I'm the pot calling the kettle black.[/b]  However, I never felt right about taking this money and it caused a huge rift in my marriage (it was from my husband's parents and was between him and them) and so I have a difficult time imagining being an adult and having my [i]entire[/i] life paid for by my parents.  That's all.  I'm jealous in the way that I'm also jealous that athletes make $100k/game or whatever.  It doesn't keep me up at night but it just sort of annoys me.  Not sure why.

And that's that. [/quote]

"In a way"?  Honey, you ARE the pot calling the kettle black.

You don't have a leg to stand on.

Sheesh.[/quote]

Agreed. OP, you've lost this battle. Hypocrite.[/quote]
