[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand this question at all. People have preferences. Mine is to live in a place with ample room for my gardens, where I don't have to talk to people if I don't want to.

So, I live in the suburbs on 5 acres with lovely neighbors and no HOA, have my own pool, a pond, about to construct a bird pond, and spend my free time restoring native plants to what we own. We have zero debt (other than CC which is paid off montly). Most of our drives are 15-20 minutes away, both for kid's activities, as well as groceries and other stuff needed for life. The trade-off for the drive is that I can just as easily go to H-Mart as I can to Costco or Target. DH and I both work from home, so there is no routine commute or dealing with traffic.

When I was younger, we lived in NYC, and enjoyed it immensely. But at this stage in my life, city living is not what I want, so I don't live in the city. There is no failure with either choice, it's just a personal preference.[/quote]

Right? Also - not all suburbs are created equal. I don’t think the hundreds of people living in $5 - $250 million mansions in Greenwich, CT feel they are failures.[/quote]
