[quote=sunny88]Why do you care how the people in RSF are? You live your life, have your friends and go about your own business. Teach your children common sense and tell them not to take anything for granted. I think you’re doing the right thing, live below your means and stay out of financial trouble.[/quote]
I agree. It’s easier said than done but the right approach in my opinion.Besides, snobs and cliques of a sort, come in every economic class and social variation. I want to feel connected to my community to some degree though,so I would have to feel like I was enjoying some local relationships/participation, as opposed to just my friends from elsewhere. If RSF is where you want to live and you can pay for it but can’t or don’t want to “keep up” with the neighbors then live there anyway and deal with it. There will be plenty of upside.
You might feel uncomfortable with some situations but gradually find some enjoyable social interactions that lead to friendships. If you have a hunch that a place works well for you and your family it probably will. Once that is realized on a day to day basis, it will be easy to be less concerned with the “snobs”.
