are between 28-34. I have a house, only 2 of the 18 attys in my office are homeowners (2 i'm not aware of) The majority of them making over 6 figures, the others make at least 90k. They are all white or jewish.
Frequently, they are shocked to learn that I am a homeowner or that i have a housekeeper or 2 cars. When they express surprise, or compare it to their situation I could explain what sacrifices my wife and i have made, what my wife does for a living, what help we received, what areas we are frugal, that we paid for city universities by working and never took a student loan, but i don't. I just smile and soak up the dumb look on their face.
