A chance to brag, of course!

Same where we live. They are primarily smart tech people who were founders or early employees of startups that had an early exit.

No. You’re being supported by someone else.

When my dd was about 5 or 6, she had an imaginary family: husband and 7 kids. Her imaginary family always one-upped whatever was going on in real life with our family. If I served two vegetables at dinner time, she was feeding her imaginary family three vegetables. If we went to HersheyPark, her family went to Disney World

Because my dh, an attorney, worked long hours and was really only around on weekends, dd said her husband p, also an attorney, was home all week and only worked on weekends. Eventually, she told us he retired at age 35. He still had passive income from a car dealership he owned. It always sounded fishy.

Why is this very stupid thread in the elementary school section?

Same except none of us even have kids yet and they’re already retired (early / mid 30s). Know 3 couples like this. The magic number for many of them was $10M so they could draw 4% annually ($400K) w/o touching the principal. 1 made their $ via high finance and the other 2 were a combo of tech + 2022 crypto gains.

Meh, my dh is retired from the military and our youngest is in middle school. We had kids late. It happens.

Same. Our kid will be 2 when my husband retires

It's a good troll twist. If it's a high school, maybe the parents had kids late and are in their 50s. It's not inconceivable some of the parents would be retired. In elementary it's pretty whack.

An inheritance in coming in few years. It sits in estate account right now. We are not big spenders.
Already worked nearly 30 years.

Sounds like your gambling paid off.

OP is a UMC striver who is bitter that other families are more successful.

I make sure to mention that I’m retired whenever I meet an insecure striver dope who is very proud of their $600k income
