[QUOTE="Ready_fire_aim, post: 4083805, member: 50626"] “Young kids” like newborns through 12yr olds. Just guessing here, but I’m assuming I’m probably close to your kids age. You did concede that it “might be a little tougher on the younger generation” which is all I’m saying. I’d like to be able to give my kids a leg up if I can. I totally hear ya. Growing up I saw the different sides. I saw rich kids who got too many handouts that never learned to appreciate/take care of/value things. I saw the losers headed directly for that $15 per hr at age 40 like you mentioned. It’s definitely a balance with raising kids and instilling ethics. My dad is a classic republican bootstraps up mentality kinda guy. That’s how I was raised, and I totally get it. He doesn’t help me financially at all… but when he passes away there will be a decent inheritance. Which I hope to basically not need (because I can take care of myself) and pass that wealth down to my children and hopefully grand children someday. I was just saying I am a bit concerned for my children’s generation, and their future ability to purchase land/homes. The way things are going, they all better have 6-figure+ jobs… it looks like the days of the “workin man” being able to afford a decent car and a decent house are dwindling. I just feel like things will most likely be harder for my kids financially than it was for me. That makes me have the desire to help set them up if I can. The next generations are worth investing in [/QUOTE]
