[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read through all of the posts (only got to the 2nd page of the thread), but you sound like you're doing well OP. Focus on what you can control - dating, saving money, paying your mortgage and student loans. Try not to focus too much on comparing yourselves to your sisters. It's a waste of time and energy. Also, there will always be people wealthier than you who didn't earn it.

Take it from me, I grew up LMC, went to Ivies, saved and scraped, married a guy with as similar pedigree...We now live in a 1.5M house in Greenwich, CT and bizarrely, I feel poor every day because my kids go to school with kids who live in 3M and 4M McMansions and most of the moms who I know here don't work. They just live off their husbands insane salaries and/or trust funds. I work, I stress about money all the time, I am still paying off my student loans (25K to go) and can't believe that I feel this way as an adult with all the trappings of success that I always dreamed of - and more. No matter where you go you will find privileged people who haven't had to work for what they have and if you are a human it will annoy you, but you have to shake your head and let it go at a certain point.[/quote]
