[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again

wow i didnt think my little rant was going to generate such a long thread.

ok i forgot a few bills, like the gym, salary insurance, life insurance etc.... and also we only started making that much recently, it has not even been a year yet.

a good chunk of our salary also comes in the form of a yearly bonus, so we dont exactly have $7k left over on our checking account once the bills are paid. and what we do have left goes in the house currently.

the word "poor" was supposed to be taken in context of this extremely frivolous town. I just feel like i am doing something wrong when i see all these $2M+ homes and $100K+ car around me.

based on my reading this post it sounds like the DC version of the American Dream is to work a lot, pay a lot of taxes, visit museums, go on hikes, hang out with over-educated snobs who drive cheap cars and have little to show for at the end ... sounds a lot like Europe to me.....

I'm not sure you HHI is your problem.  [/quote]

+1.  Sounds like you are not happy, have no idea what would make you happy, and base your major life decision's on your wife's co-workers recommendations.  You sound passive and depressed.  You need a kick in the pants.[/quote]
