[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I had made different career and educational choices so that I may have had more money in my thirties. When I see peers have high net worths I am green with envy.

How do you deal?[/quote]

It’s very frustrating, OP!

DH and I only have a HHI of $850K and NW of $15.3M and we’re already in our mid 40s. We’re both in tech. All of our friends are probably making [b]way[/b] more than us. We’re barely making ends meet with weekly grocery bills now pushing $400. We’ve had to cut back to only nine vacations and six Michelin 3-star restaurants per year instead of the usual twelve and twelve. DH can’t even afford to buy a new car this year, as the MSRP is now more than $200K (last year was $170K)! Sometimes I wish I had married a lawyer instead of an exec at a high tech company. I don’t think we’ll ever know the comforts of Big Law….[/quote]

Did OP mention how much they are earning? It may be a champagne problems situation but, as someone who left a notoriously low paying field for a higher paying job, I understand the motivation to want to earn more![/quote]
