There is no need to be ashamed. There are many families who earn lesser than yours. A combined family income of $170k pa is pretty decent. You are lucky that you live in a well run country which has appreciated your asset. Your property can be sold at $1m. You are so lucky compared to people in our neighboring countries.
You are better morally compared to the many rich men who womanize. These men have weak wives who close one eye of their rich husband's infidelity. These useless money minded women.

I hope to retire in Malaysia. When I reach 65, I will sell my flat for S$1m which will give me RM2.5m to retire with. Even though I am poor, I'm proud that I don't womanize. There are men who are rich but they womanize, some of them could be in this forum.
