We live in Boston so there are a lot of very successful people here. We also have a lot of friends who are doctors. They're probably all in a lot of medical school debt but will be raking it in quite soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-125581 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:36:17 +0000 Mrs. Pink 125581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say most of the people I know are middle class? most of the people I know who are more "upper middle class" are older, more established in their jobs etc. </p> <p>We live in a place where the median income was $57,457 and the average home price was $216,388 in 2009... so not too bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-124185 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 09:35:56 +0000 mrsjyw 124185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think most of my friends and we are "well-off" for our age, but I don't have any extravagantly "rich" friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-123833 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 05:42:19 +0000 Andrea 123833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: oh ok, good to know! i just don't want the LO to feel bad or to feel really "poor" -- and hate on her parents or something! But I guess that is just something I will have to teach her so that she will not be upset because we are going to be providing her with a perfectly nice life even if we are not super rich. </p> <p>@bluestriped bee: flame shooters?? this sounds a little tacky to me but maybe i am not picturing it correctly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-123759 Mon, 16 Apr 2012 02:28:14 +0000 BSB 123759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just asked the DH and he says we do have a friend who we think is a millionaire. Our friend is a financial planner for big companies. He has a multi million dollar home and he just put in a new pool with flame shooters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-123656 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 21:50:54 +0000 StbHisMrs 123656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea<br /> That wasn't a huge concern of mine at the time I placed him there, but I have noticed it through parents. Not even half the kids parents are "rich", and it usually comes up when kids are taking vacations to Hawaii, Florida, and Disneyland, or getting expensive gifts (we live in the country so they all have their quads). It isn't really bad though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-122928 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 09:03:48 +0000 Andrea 122928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: definitely! They are not my friends but the millionaires and billionaires at work are idiosyncratic all right! They also have the resources to do off the wall things all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-122920 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 08:57:24 +0000 stiffaknee 122920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont know that i have any "rich friends"... Husband does, though (he went to college at SMU and there seems to be a lot of money floating around) but i couldnt even guess as to their net worth, because they arent really flashy.</p> <p>I will say that most of my friends are living comfortably, which at our age (28) i think is pretty awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-122919 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 08:56:52 +0000 mrbee 122919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know two billionaire entrepreneurs through business... they are pretty quirky. At first I thought it was a coincidence, but then I realized that when you're worth that much, then maybe people indulge your idiosyncrasies more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-122884 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 08:04:11 +0000 mom2b2agirl 122884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: hahahahahahaha!

I am a bit worried that everyone will be richer than us if I decide to send my DD to private school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-122799 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 23:21:20 +0000 StbHisMrs 122799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son goes to private school, so lots of his friends are VERY well off. The family of a boy in my sons class owns an egg manuf. company.. His best friends parents sold their business in LA, they live in a 7000 sq ft home, dress very well, have fancy things, drive a nice car.....They work but they're very closed mouth about their professions, her husband dabbles in real estate and they have rentals in CA. They're rich, but I don't know how much! They're the nicest people I know!!</p> <p>My parents have friends as well as us that are self made millionaires, he's a dentist but made his money off real estate. Again very humble and loving friends. My husband and I were to be married at their home, it's gorgeous and very flashy. They give a lot away though.</p> <p>I'd do anything to be in that position, but they have 20 years on us. Income wise we make more than friends in our age range. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-122729 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 20:26:45 +0000 MrsBrewer 122729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really don't have any rich friends. I have friends whose parents are very rich, so they get a lot of stuff, but they aren't rich. Most are still in college though, or just finishing up and just starting in the "real jobs" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-122723 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 20:21:49 +0000 dc yoga bee 122723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL now if you were to ask who is my poorest friend we would all pop up because we're all in grad school or just starting out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-122698 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 20:08:04 +0000 mediagirl 122698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think we have any rich friends.

All my husband's friends from high school still do drugs and live with their parents.<br /> My only "normal" friends are from church, and they all have "normal" jobs like teachers, pastors, social workers, retail managers, etc.<br /> We do have a friend that got $2 million from a car accident, but I don't think that counts... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-is-your-richest-friend#post-122373 Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:22:14 +0000 Andrea 122373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: that is cool!
