[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree OP.  I was the financial aid kid at private school in another less pretentious area.  I married late not because I waited that’s just how my life worked out. I spent my 20s and 30s paying student loans and 30s on infertility treatments and my husbands PTSD. Life is good but we are so far behind our peers our age. We own a small old home and have retirement accounts, savings, and a 529 for our one child. I’ve always felt like a square peg in a round hole. Wrong body type for the sport I excelled in and was penalized for it- synchronized swimming. I’ve been on a diet or bigger my whole life. The comments about how I live in such a small house or oh you have just one? It burns, especially the younger moms with 3 kids and thin bodies.  I’m trying to be grateful. I am grateful but it is about personality, life circumstances, money, and luck. [/quote]

To this poster and the OP, in all seriousness, have you considered relocating? This area has a lot of wealthy and successful people and it sounds like you will always be comparing yourself to them. Why not move to someplace like Scranton, Huntsville, or Rochester where you will be able to be relatively more accomplished and you will enjoy comparing yourselves to people who are less achievement oriented.

Honestly, I can’t really relate to people like OP. I really enjoy being average and blending in with a basic but comfortable life. [/quote]
