[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 4083692, member: 14646"] I think a lot of parents on this forum and in general, what to be able to preserve or build wealth they can pass down to their children. My wife and I sure do for our son. I disagree that our children will have a tough time owning homes and our something with acreage attached to it. Parents that want to be able to pass down "higher ticket" assets to their children have to take some responsibility in doing the right thing while instilling ethics and values into their children. And, the children need to take responsibility for their actions and their futures. The kids don't need to go to college to live the American dream by owning homes and land but they do need to, at least, do decently in high school and whatever continuing education they do post high school. Whether that's trade school, tech school, four year college or start a profitable small business. Generally, you'll get out of life what you put into it. There are plenty of people that got into the trades that have done spectacularly well. And most that have applied themselves and made good decisions should be able to afford a nice home and possibly with some acreage (if they so choose) in OK. What I get tired of hearing are those folks (not necessarily you, Ready Aim Fire) that barely graduated high school, didn't always make the best decisions growing up, didn't instill a mindset in their children to succeed and wound up with kids that didn't pull their heads our of the azzes until they were in their late 20's or early 30's and are making $15-$20/hours when in their 40's and 50's. These individuals then complain that higher value assest like homes and acreage are too expensive because out-of-staters are pushing up the price of said assets. [/QUOTE]
