[quote=Anonymous]My life is far better than that of my parents. But the opportunities for women to get an education and have a successful high level career are so much greater. My mom was 56 before she could get a credit card in her own name much less access birth control so we have a big family. We had a small house and always had food but we made our own clothes because there wasn’t money for that sort of thing. And we only ever took vacations if there was an opportunity for free lodging. Eating out happened maybe 5-6 times while I was growing up. By 26 I had a nicer house than I grew up in and had about the same lifestyle as my parents. It went up hill from there. I was able to go to college and law school. I can’t say the same for all of my siblings. Some did well and some did not. I don’t know if my kids will achieve our level. It’s pretty easy to do better when you come from nothing. [/quote]
