[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 4115966, member: 50626"] Right. Although I sort of feel like that’s the way things should go. The proper progression of wealth so to speak. I have no ill feelings about the fact that we grew up on humble means. Taught us a lot… how to shop bargains at garage sales and get the $300 bicycle for $50. How to work on things. We took care of the nice things we did have because you actually had to earn it. Etc… a few of my friends were the spoiled rich kid types and good grief they really are out of touch. My dad went back to college when us kids were little. Got a degree in economics. Went into banking, he started off as a loan officer making something measly like $13hr. But he stayed in the field for the rest of his career and climbed the ladder. For a while now he’s been president of a lending institution. He makes well into 6 figures and his year end bonuses tend to be close to my annual income lol.. I’m very proud of my Dad!!! The wife and I didn’t wait forever to have kids and build careers/wealth first (neither did either of our parents, so I guess it’s just kinda as what we are used to). We had kids young. Yes it has made things tough financially at times, but I wouldn’t change things a bit. I do not envy my friends who are waiting till they are 40 to start having kids. [/QUOTE]
