I can happily disabuse you of that notion. I want none of that. So there ya go.
You couldn't pay me to live in Bethesda or drive a Range Rover.
Rightttt
This is so funny that people can't believe this.
My parents were millionaires when I was a kid. self-made businessman, family-owned business
When they were looking to build (b/c he was also a builder before he learned another trade), they searched through Potomac. Both HATED it and opted to build in Silver Spring, which is where I grew up.
beautiful homes - but a normal size and well built
You'd never know how much money they had.
Material items are shit, folks. They mean nothing.
My family is much the same. Self made multimillionaires. We clipped coupons, shopped at Goodwill sometimes (for me it was mostly hand-me-downs), and cleaned up after ourselves. We had chores - real chores, real responsibilities - not just "did you make your bed?" We lived in a comfortable, but humble home, and you'd never know how much money they had - I had no idea until they died, and was flabbergasted.
Believe me, I have absolutely no desire to live in a big house, or own a fancy car, even though I could quite easily afford it. More is not necessarily better, and material items get phased out for more "new, better" stuff. Just stuff.
I feel like those who lust over big houses, expensive cars, and the perfect everything, are self-medicating some weird insecurity with things and stuff. Those things don't make you who you are.

Whaat? They need a smart phone in ES to fit in.
I for one will fight this nonsense. My ADHD child has enough challenges without that mess. I barely let her play with an iPod or tablet.

Fine, donate yours then,poser.
I doubt her parents are that rich. People who claim to be rich and cheap usually turn out to be making $200,000 or so

Can we discuss the African American violent crime rate here or is it too taboo?

2. I'd happily give up a percentage of my salary for universal healthcare for all US citizens.
3. I'd love firearms to be banned, while I know it's unrealistic.
I was with you on #3 until I bought a small farm and had predators eating my livestock.
I've had universal healthcare and it sucked.
