[quote=Anonymous]Our story - first generation immigrants, moved here with toddler Live frugally (to a degree) - home cooking, hands me down clothes for kids, a lot of DIY home projects Drive cars until wheels fall off We're house poor per DCUM and overall American standards, just our way to prioritize kids education (best public schools we could afford) No student loans, we came to us with college education already. DH is in IT, I did take some classes/got certification to complement my foreign education, but was able to pay out of pocket. We didn't really built the wealth, but we do live comfortably - own house and rental property, decent retirement savings, will be able to pay college tuition (paid for oldest already). Looking back - I probably should've got US Masters degree, but was afraid to take out loans. It bites me in the arse now as I reached the ceiling in terms of earnings, and too old to go back to school now (I'm 48 yo). [/quote]
