When the kids are at school a variety of beautiful women come by and visit her and then she will drive off with them and do lunch. I see her with a large group of fancy looking women at the local Starbucks all the time. I also see that she is always coming back from the fancy mall with bags of clothes. She seems to be part of the idle rich who lunch, socialize and shop all the time.

What really impresses me is how many friends she has. A new fancy friend is coming by nearly every day. All her friends seem to be really fancy and incredibly poised. They are all so well dressed. I suspect other wives of local executives.

Do you pity or admire the social life of this type of women?
You must have money also if you live across the street from her.

I pity her neighbor for being so nosy and jealous. I havent heard anyone use the term "fancy" when describing people since Granny on Beverly Hillbillies. "Her new fancy friends....", "shopping at the fancy mall......." "...Starbucks with fancy looking women" why dont you just fancy yourself up and go over and talk to them next time you're in Starbucks.

Start off by waving and saying "hi". Then progress to a conversation at another time.

Both actually... I admire it until you find out that the person is really hollow inside.. but on the flip side.. she could be a magnificent person ...

I have seen some rather obnoxious well to do people out there.. but on the flip side she could be well put together and just keeps herself busy since the husband is always at work? (or so I assume) But to really know .. I would have to know this person myself...

Okay, I must admit it ... I am envious of all the fancy people on these here forums. They seem to be on here at all hours of the day and night - discussing a variety of topics! And you just know these forum folks are fancy because they are on here day and night - not working - typing away on their fancy computers!

My thoughts too. If the husband is so rich they must live in a upscale neighborhood and in order for you to live ACROSS the street you must live in the same UPSCALE neighborhood. Are you jealous that she has friends or because she doesn't have to work. There must be more to it than her having a social life. Maybe its your lack of a social life. Are you one of those curtain peekers?

Most of mine is from the back of a well rig.

Right now I am waiting to meet a customer.

I thought the exact same thing. I don't care how many friends you have they don't tend to be in and out of your home all day long!! That is a little peculiar. However, I think the OP who obviously doesn't work (how else would she know who's coming and going all day long) and lives in a nice home herself is just probably really, really bored or not satisfied with something in her life which is why she's glamorizing the neighbors life. Remember, the grass always looks greener. Not to be preachy but it's also important to count your OWN blessings. Maybe you could try doing some volunteer work at a hospital somewhere or maybe a neighborhood school or something. I went through a period of my life when I was depressed and I did some work with the homeless and started working with people who had HIV, and it took me no time to remember just how really, really blessed I am.

Envy is almost always signal that there's something going on within us. So I say either strike up a friendship with the neighbor or find some friends of your own and get out there and find whatever it is that will make you happy.

Default From the OP:

I work from home one day a week and like to goof off and I can see the comings and goings of the "fancy" women across the street from my computer room. I usually go out and walk around every day and see her and her beautiful husband and kids then. Both my wife and I have said hello to that beautiful couple and did not get the time of day. They are way to fancy to deal with trash like us! (just joking)

Why would you put yourself down like that? Do not EVER belittle yourself in comparison to other people. Who cares what they have or don't have. How do you know if they are truly happy with that life. If it is going to bother you that much to see them maybe you should move to a area where you feel more comfortable.
