[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a grip. You're rich. You are jealous of richer people. Get over yourself.

I was at 280k combined income with ex in late 40s.

I am now divorced and happier than you with my 100k job. You live in a bubble and you need to stop being jealous of other richer people. You are better off that MOST people.[/quote]

Yeah but you are old and bought a house when homes were cheap. Changes entire life trajectory. [/quote]

I am not old. I did not buy when houses were cheap. I just bought. [/quote]

So you never owned a house when you were married?[/quote]

Yes, I owned a house. He kept it. I did not get half. Only bought it 3 years ago. No growth in equity to sell. Only in the house 18 months then divorced. We moved a lot.  I also paid off 70k in student debt from
1999 by age 31. I am early 40s. I do not have wealth like op. At all. I still managed to buy a townhouse 6 months ago. I have no great windfall due to age. Way to make huge assumptions. I have a kindergartener. No where close to being a grandma (ex is late 40s). It is not like we owned a house for years and years and had a lot of equity like you assume. Not the case. OP has no reason to complain.[/quote]

So you bought your first house and had first kid in your 40s?  Yeah, there is sure more to your story. [/quote]

Please read. I am in my early 40s. I had my last kid in my late 30s. My ex is in his late 40s. We did not buy a house in NoVA until 2017...we moved a lot in our marraige. We were separated the next year after buying the house. There was no rise in home equity of years (like when you said...you bought when houses were cheap...um no....we did not buy 15-20 years ago.) That is a huge assumption. Most people I know did not buy houses until their late 30s. Not too far from OP's age. I am only about 6 years older than her yet I make much less, and I am divorced, and still manage not to feel completely poor. She needs to grow up.[/quote]
