Ha! Actually, we're in basically the same financial shape; we have different priorities and spend our money in different ways. I would wager that my husband and I actually have (probably quite) a bit more in savings and investments, whereas they have more stuff. The wife doesn't work (I do), and spends her time working out and playing tennis at their club, and is a bit more susceptible to the "keeping up with the Joneses" syndrome than we are.

I love them to bits, really, they're our best friends, but they're just cheap
