D McDougal's definitions

Darien

A modest New York City suburb with a great atmosphere for raising a healthy, middle class family. Moderately priced houses and a lower cost of living make it an attractive alternative to more extravagent Connecicut suburbs such as Greenwich and New Canaan.

I was able to start saving for my retirement and my kid's education by chosing to live in Darien instead of New Canaan Greenwich. My wife doesn't feel uncomfortable driving a used car, and we could actually afford to get into the country club without selling my kidneys.
