[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally get it- we are in a very similar situation, I almost wonder if you are my husband posting. [b]I do not feel like we have money to burn AT ALL.[/b][/quote]

If that's your definition of not feeling poor, you will always feel poor. [/quote]

Agree.  This is a pathetic posting and clearly someone who is humble bragging.  [/quote]

OP here .... i get into this argument with some family/friend back home (they think i am ridiculous when i say i am struggling) but i think there is something people are missing here.

unless you're some trust fund kid, $350k a year doesnt come easy.... it involves years and years of sacrificing ... moving a lot , traveling for work, living in places you don't like, beeing away from friends and family, having to adjust culturaly (in my case again), learning a foreign language...All those things are fine at one condition, and that is that i am going to be rewarded for it. Otherwise why not just stay put, work a 9 to 5, be around friends and family etc... so yes $350k is being rewarded, but what is the point if you have to live the same life you would somewhere else on $100k.

And again, i just dont see where the money is going around here,[b] there is nothing special at all about the place [/b](expect schools maybe), there are no beaches, no mountains, mediocre climate, insanely high taxes etc...[/quote]

perhaps you should move.  you sound like you really don't like it here at all.  maybe that is the root of your dis-satisfaction rather than your HHI[/quote]
