What can I do if others have not achieved anything at the age of 45 and are deeply in debt for a house and can therefore no longer afford anything. Should I then never utter anything to that because I have done something again? Should I keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life and be alone in my little room about having bought something that others can't afford so quickly?
It's only about a notebook that costs 900 euro and you want to buy it because mine is already 8 years old, but is still fully functional and I don't need anything new. Do I no longer have the right to look forward to my new notebook and share my friends with someone? My wife thinks it sounds boastful, but please shut up to the people who just can't afford it. Isn't that an exaggeration?
Who cares? If I tell my friends everything I buy all the time, I wouldn't be finished tomorrow. I buy it for myself and you can see some things anyway if whoever speaks to me about how much what cost I say it otherwise it is irrelevant

Those people who "got it nowhere" have secured a good portion of their pension when the house is paid off. What about you with your laptop?!
I find it more ridiculous than boastful.
The question is: why do you want to tell other people? If you would be really happy about it then you don't need to tell anyone. Sounds to me like you need outside approval.
What do you hope for when others know?
Isn't it enough to buy the notebook? And if not: why not?
The question was posed incorrectly. Of course, I only tell you when it fits into the conversation. Otherwise not!
Great achievement to have paid off his property only at 60/65, right?
How do you know that? And if - it is their decision. They have set their priorities. In any case, I think looking down at them is completely wrong.
If you get your pension and then have to pay at least 1000 euro in rent from it, it will probably be you who can't help grinning in a deck chair in your own garden.
You don't think about the immense maintenance measures and the maintenance of your own property. They can be higher than any rent; my roof alone cost 30,000 euro. Just one of many repairs.
I know that. However, we built in such a large or small framework that we can handle it.
And admittedly we're done in our mid-50s, if nothing comes up, that's in 3.5 years. We can then build up reserves again if heating or a roof should come due, which is not to be feared in a new building from 2003 in the near future.
We have children and have always been on vacation, but we don't have Apple devices but everything we need. I don't have to deal with any fellow tenants or account for a landlord. And I've already mentioned the pension benefit. There's always a certain risk, but what is without risk?
What's that to do with you? So far it will come that strangers, my children or anyone else would calculate when and how long I would have to finance my property.
Of course, you can share your joy in an appropriate context. If, however, you appear as arrogant and contemptuous towards the people you tell about it as you write here, then you shouldn't be surprised if they react accordingly. Why are you friends with them at all or would you like to share something nice with them when you seem to look down on them like that?

Be happy about what you want
whether others are interested is another question.
.
Do you always need applause for your joys?
