[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can always change careers. This is their problem to handle. [/quote] +1. I am one of those adults. Several of my friends changed careers in our early 30s. The other option is just to manage their resources carefully and be grateful for what they have. My spouse and I are still in our original careers, but I've left exciting traveling work for a desk job so I can at least hit the low six figures and be around with my kids, whereas he makes less but does a lot of DIY and childcare due to his flexibility. We have a crappy small house and our kids are widely spaced due to day care costs, but we do have it all (family, stability, retirement savings, interesting jobs that don't rule our lives), it's just not a UMC standard of "all."
