to be fed up of feeling poor, dh on 45k i'm a sahm, we have no debts and a good life, yet i still feel a bit poor

[dovebird]

we don't have money worries, our house is worth a fair bit more[40k at least] more than we owe on it, i'm happy being a sahm, we have a happy marraige on the whole,healthy as far as we know,nice car, been one one holiday abroad this year and 5 weekends away in uk.
we have a largeish 3 bedroom house which more than meets our needs
we get to have days out and meals out fairly often

i am surrounded by wealthy people though, with huge houses and very good lifestyles [ie gardeners, cleaners, never do their own d.i.y etc]

i'm fed up of feeling poor all time.

or move to a poor area where you can be the richest??? would that cheer you up??

[LadyThumb]

Never compare yourself to others - that way lies madness. You could always move to a less affluent area then your neighbours could feel like you do now.

Why can't you earn your own money?

[TakeMeDrunkImHome]

I feel the same. I only have 4.5mill left in the bank. Im shopping in poundland tomorrow.

Assssshooooollllleeeeeee

[NormanTebbit]

You know what sort of responses you will get.

You are very fortunate. You know that. Stop trying to keep up with the Joneses. It's tedious.

[griphook]

well, why don't you give it all to charity, live on the streets, or eat £1 pizzas from iceland then you might realise what you have.

[5inthebed]

Oh my heart pumps lumpy custard for you.

[Coffeeisking]

Are you serious?

Get a bloody grip love!

[petitepeach]

Sorry this must be a joke.......surely...????

[NormanTebbit]

stealth boasting

[RedHotPokers]

Boo effing Hoo

[sunshineandbooks]

TakeMeDrunk and Guitargirl - glad it's not just me. There is no way this is genuine.

[IRCL]

Get a grip and be grateful for what you have, if you cannot do that get off your arse and get a job.

[AuntieMonica]

why don't you take in mending for people who are more poor than you, then you can be sew-perior
