[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope. We net $18,000 a month after our retirement contributions, save about $6000 in addition to the retirement contributions.[/quote]

Gloat much? [/quote]

Nope, just stating the facts.[/quote]

Right... You could have said: "Well it wasn't always this way, but once our kids hit school, and DH got promoted, and we refinanced, it was comfortable". Which, you know, might actually contribute to the conversation... Instead you only cited meaningless dollar figures intended to highlight how much you make. ... Did they somehow add to the conversation? Nope.

It's like when you ask someone what they are doing for the weekend and instead of saying "We are heading up to Maine with family, how about you?" they say "We are heading up to our estate home in Maine on 300 acres. The driver should be here soon hopefully."

Both stamens are factual, but the second makes you sound like a twatwaffle.

You must be a girl. I won't apologize for my self control.  It's a choice in our case to live below our means, and yeah, I'm proud of our success.[/quote]
