Certainly you know them...

People that wake up everyday to sunshine regardless of the actual weather, whose lives look peachy perfect b/c of their demeanor, whose energies and smiles motivate you or make you want to strangle them...
Or do you?

Ooooh, I'm scared ... of facing the fact that some people have a lot of money! Oh man, how I denied myself that knowledge for so many years!
Serious? If you can't have a mature debate than I will have to wish you a good night.
The kids, DH and I made brownie sundaes for dessert. We should have settled for sliced apples, oh the shame! Lol. But I agree, diets don't work.
Yum and no diets do not work. Making it a lifestyle and moderation is the only thing that will work for the long run.
We were frugal. Do you think frugal means you cannot "do things?" We are still frugal in many ways. "Frugal" is not a dirty word.
What things did you do as I have only heard about these European vacations in the last couple of years? No cable, old cars, no new clothes and shoes for yourself for many years. I am sure I could go on.
I've never professed to having a lot of money. I don't think I've said my neighborhood is an upper middle class neighborhood. In fact, I think I've often said that I am pretty solidly middle middle class.
You may be thinking of where I lived before this neighborhood - that neighborhood was an upper middle class one, but I lived on a street of houses that were valued significantly below the rest of the neighborhood. It was actually a pretty darned good place to live - surrounded by bigger, grander homes - kept my property values up.

Maybe frugal is like jealous ...

What the average American has in retirement savings is seriously inadequate?
by any qualitative standardss. Why wouldn't you judge your situation on what you will need than by what others lack?
Well, it was you or pka that called me jealous also... Lol, If there's one thing I've learned it is how close people are to the words they use on others.. I'm sorry savcal, Really.
Yes, we now have a about 2k more a month because we don't have a mortgage anymore.

I wasn't. I was just commenting of what I have read. So you think people are doing well in this area and the majority are not. I was quite surprised and didn't realize that I was actually over that.

Wow, 2K? Glad I was never saddled with such a high mortgage.
We do not have cable because we don't want it. We drive our cars until they wear out or become unreliable, ten to fifteen years. We get new clothes and shoes as we need or want them, always have. I've been going to Europe on and off, every few years, since 1981. We tend to stay longer and stay in better places now,
Amazing how stories have changed over the years lol.
