When you are living stably, in your own house, with a paid off vehicle and children who have everything they need while they are going through bankruptcy and are barely able to feed and house their own children – then they will realize that “the best” and “the most expensive” are NOT always the same thing. Sometimes, “The Best” is whatever saves you money for tomorrow.

You are the wiser so just go on with your life and enjoy that fact. Being that deep in debt will inevitably catch up with them. It’s quite haunting to them I’m sure, to not know where exactly they stand financially. If it’s not then they are just being foolish. You’ve offered your 2 cents so now just agree to disagree and see what happens. Like you said, smile and ignore it.

Why do you care? If they want to spend money, that is their problem. Be glad you own your home and are good at saving money. I think you are thinking too much into what they do and how they live their life. It’s not your problem. Just try to refrain from hanging out as much if they bother you that much.

Sweet heart in this world all youll find is people like them
but dont say anything you should just look at your own situation and be greatfull what you got and yeah i admit it does sound like there rubbing it in but dont bother talking to them about they will just act like they dont know what your talking about
look in this life i learned many things but one of them is karma or god call it whatever you want but people get what they deserve it’s not just fate but sometimes things just have a way of balancing themselves out ok so dont worry pay no mind and just love your kids and family dont worry bout it let them have their expensive things and debt trust me it will catch up to them…

They may think money makes them better … that’s called insecurity.
I would just ignore it … you are providing the best … you know that by “we are in a great situation …” your children will be taught valuable lessons by the way you live. They may have things but those loans need to be taken care of and while they’re in the money now … see how fast they’ll fall if a job loss occurs. Its always better to have a nest egg than a bunch of loans. Unfortunately in todays society we’ve been prospering so well we’ve forgotten the values of the “depression era folks” who learned what it meant to struggle.
Do what you do best and do let them get to you …

You should just ignore it and go on about your own business. You know deep down what you are all about and sooner or later, they will figure it out. It is always best to stay out of the whole “one up” game, you will never win.

There is not much you can do. You have already tryed to tell them the right way to go about it, especially by your example, but they don’t want to hear it. So, don’t let it get to you. They will learn the hard way.
