[quote=Anonymous]I'm a lawyer and I'm not better off than my parents, if that helps. They came from poor backgrounds and never went to college, but luck and a strong economy during their main earning years means they had more earning power at my age and have enjoyed huge real estate gains. Mom also has a great pension, the likes of which is no longer available. It's really common for Gen X and younger to have less buying power and financial stability compared to the Boomers. I don't think your being a doctor or a lawyer would necessarily have changed that. But even if it would have, it's inappropriate to blame your parents for your choices.[/quote]
