We used to live ina weatlhy neighborhood but had much less money than our friends. it didn't make a difference. (we moved there long bf it became wealthy). then, we made a lot of money by selling our place. now people think we have no money and feel bad for us, but we have enough in the bank to live comfortably in NYC without working for up to 5 years. either way, no one knows. we don't talk abt our money. or brag about it. or feel bad when others brag about theirs. bc it doesn't matter that much when we're happy in ourselves.

that is your reading of what i'm saying. if anything, i'm bragging that I'm happy where i am. was happy when we didn't have money. am happy now. the money or how people view me doesnt' change things. [ Reply | More ]

lol...a ctually, we do. sort of. we take hand me down clothing for dd. stay with people a lot (that's the reason i think people think we have no money, we stay with friends a lot. have some really good friends and family members who have us stay with them for literally weeks at a time). it works for us and gives us an incredible amount of freedom.

What makes you think I'm wealthy? Or poor? Just because I don't congratulate myself for my financial decisions and brag to everyone about how much I have or how wonderful it is to have money that you don't need to spend, that makes me bitter? You are insensitive. [ Reply | More ]
