Previously irritating now enlightening: couldn't figure out how coworker who is half my age, only two years on the job (vs. my fifteen) was able to afford to travel every month, and just bought a house. Turns out her roomie works for the airlines so she flies for free and stays with friends, hence the traveling. Mommy paid the down payment on the house; mortgage is the same as my rent. I feel much less loserly now.

But on a less self-pitying note, Princess of the Ryche makes me happy every day!!!

Actually the biggest factor is winning the parent lottery. It's mostly about who you're born to. How well would GW have done in life (for instance) if he wasn't a Bush?

My mom has lotsa $$$ but doesn't want to share til after she's dead, which is fine. She earned it, it's her right to do with it as she wishes. I just wish her wish was to see her daughter and grand-daughter living in a nicer home, living a slightly better quality of life, but so be it. I'm doing fine on my own, just sayin'....guess I should move this over to the irritated thread, hunh? Sorry. Venting complete. Resume happiness.
