[quote=Anonymous]On the other side: We upgraded to a much nicer home recently and noticed people just don’t hang out with us as much anymore. I totally get why, but OP: if these people are good friends, just keep hanging out with them. Maybe the reason why they have a nice big house is so that they can host more often. Maybe they are going through some stuff that can’t be posted online. Before moving into our new home- I worked so hard to save and work overtime. We make less than 200k a year. Our previous mortgage was 1500 a month. It was something I really wanted. To cut out a lot of personal expenses and just saved and saved and saved. A lot of it was possible because our kids started public school. We never ate out. We never had a date night. 5 years of this lead to 200k to buy the next house including the equity from the current home. It’s possible. I know you have envy. And right now sucks for buyers. But note that you have a lot more going for you than people who are renting. [/quote]
