She doesn't have any toys, really, just an expensive house she is constantly paying people to maintain. That is definitely a choice, though for her it seems to be necessity. She showed me her tax bill, as if to say, "See why I have to work so hard?" Her "play hard" is hanging out with her grandkids.

I'm happy with a condo and apartment life and living simply and cheaply so I can enjoy my life. Shit, I'd love for a girlfriend to move in so we could split the rent! The reality is she probably needs the house to justify her workaholism.

    She doesn't seem to be aware of nor interested in a different lifestyle. You clearly cannot jive together, and I think her attitude is wrong because she keeps bringing it up to justify it, like it's a major point of emotional insecurity for her (or else she wouldn't mention it half as much) that you clearly don't have to and shouldn't need to put up with. Get outta there already!
