we live in a wealthy area, in a nice 3 bed house.
compared to the people we have always know we are pretty well off
since my dd started preschool we have made alot of friends, which is nice, in our local area, all of whom are very wealthy.
i mean massive houses, dream houses, plenty of spending money, lots of holidays lots of days outs etc.
and since i've started spending time with these new friends, i feel quite poor, which i kniw is ridiculous.
im a sahm with no pressure to return to work, have no money worries, we all appear to be healthy as far as we know, we all love each other and get on well most of the time, it is our house, we do own it/buying with morgage we can afford,it has nice features such as nice large south facing garden, two bathrooms etc,we have good friends and family,never stuck for company, we are having two holidays abroad this year, and 4 weekends away in the uk, we have a nice car, don't have loads of clothes but do have a few nice things
and yet i find myself comparing houses ALOT
in my mind and wondering if we should move to a larger house
and im pretty sure ive only started thinking this since we have become part of this extra group.
