[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I am an example of this. My husband and I went to state schools, worked during college and had parental help with tuition. Neither of us gathered student debt. We were renters when my grandfather died and I ended up with a 30K we used for a down payment on a $440k house in NW DC (not upper NW, but east of the park). We have made a series of choices over the years due to childcare issues and parental health/ caregiving issues that have pretty much decimated any careers. We also have useless liberal arts degrees. I work part time. We live on about 80K/ year just fine. No luxuries and we are frugal, but we have lots of time with our kids and families and I’d say our life/work balance is perfect. I am deeply grateful for the luck we had to be in this position. [/quote]
