I consider racing to red lights and jostling positions on the freeway to be a rat race.
The eldest sister works for (a contractor for) Google. We do not discuss what we earn with her because we make more.
The second is a nurse practitioner, but seems to have a different employer every year. I mentioned my hourly wage and she said she made the same amount, but I am trying to get a raise, and her most recent employer is definitely not giving her enough hours. She and her husband bought a nice house five years ago and always purchase cars new, but they keep them several years.
I greatly want to live in her neighborhood, it is nice and everything but I want to see my family more often! It is always difficult to see homes for sale in her neighborhood, but one like hers cost a quarter million, and the payment at 4.5% would be $1,266.71!
I rent a room for around $320 monthly.
I would rather (eventually) purchase a certified used car and a house I can pay off in fifteen years.
