[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am OP, and I am willing to bet that 80+% of the people responding here attacking my “materialistic” values share the exact same values.

Any intellectually honest person who frequents this board knows that is true!!

It’s just a taboo to talk about it openly, which is why I’ve chosen an anonymous forum.

Listen, I’m going to bow out because I am now a target for people’s misplaced hypocritical rage.

Nope. I don't care about being able to buy a house for my kid or sending them to a private. We prioritize a happy marriage and family life. We work to provide a good house in a good school district, a few vacations a year (don't care about staying at the Ritz), activities for DS, and saving for retirement and college. Sounds like that's what your life would be like if you took a less stressful job. [/quote]

Unless you are camping, your “few vacations a year” money is my “save for my kids future” money. We certainly do not take a few vacations a year! 1 MAYBE.

If I took a lower stress job it would be a struggle to adequately save for retirement and pay for college in full. Why do so many people (including DH) want yo pretend that life isn’t damn expensive? [/quote]

Again, your post boils down to the fact that you want to be UMC without having to work for it.  You would prefer your husband work for it.  Because, you know, it's "primal."

Lovely.  [/quote]
