[quote=Anonymous]What's it like to know you are giving your kids less? This is the situation DH and I would be in if we had kids. DH's parents lost most of their wealth in the 08 crash and mine, who are more UMC than UC, aren't the types to give out money (which is fine, I've never asked). But we won't be able to afford the extras we had as kids: primarily private school k-12 and 100% of private college paid for but also we won't be able to afford several vacations a year around the world, the costly extracurriculars (I grew up horseback riding with my own horse, for instance, and that's not something we ever afford to do now), etc. We haven't been on a vacation in three years because we're saving for a down payment. Our lifestyle now is very different from how we grew up.[/quote]
