I was having a moment of reflection while eating lunch by myself today, and I realized how amazing it is how much farther ahead my wife and I are than any one we associate with. Earlier in the day I was on the phone with a buddy and he was commenting on how he hadn't started X-mas shopping......he was trying to budget out his expenses and was waiting on a commission check to come in ...."you know how it is?" he says to me. Without thinking, I said..."yeah.....actually no" sort of under my breath but I felt SO bad, I was mortified at myself (doesn't happen often)
Not sure if he heard me or not. I try not to flaunt the fact that I'm not broke to them, there's nothing to be gained by showing off. He happens to sort of understand what I'm about, but still I try to set it aside when possible.
One of my wife's girlfriends is the same way.....always griping about having to wait to save up for this/that or not being able to afford "X".
After my point of mortification, I started thinking about this site, and what type of people some of you are, and what did your friends do for work. Are they broke all the time? Are they the "rat racers" like my friends are. How does it make you feel/them feel?
I'd hate to think I'm the smartest one my friends know (I'm not the sharpest tool ) but it seems as if I could be.......sort of hate that.
