[quote=Anonymous]Started out in a trailer without connection to water. Parents - one did GI bill (his parents were sharecroppers) and went to college and worked as white collar professional until he died. The other put herself through college (her parents were blue collar) from a (very) small inheritance and was a teacher for many years. I make low six figures with no debt except a mortgage. Happened through education (into grad school), hard work (some), and luck (alot). Plus people willing to give me a chance even though I didn't go to pedigreed schools. Didn't have kids until I was in my 30s. I am very happy with my life. I don't have the uber-wealth, but I feel very well off, and my kids do not need anything that we cannot afford to get them (their wants on the other hand - well, it's good to not have every desire met).[/quote]
