[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do sometimes wonder, but everyone spends their money differently. Maybe one family is spending on trips and not college savings. Maybe one family is spending on cars but not home improvements. Everyone has their thing. I didn't have trendy clothes or go to the most expensive summer camps like some of my friends did, but my parents paid for every penny of college. It's hard to know the whole picture, especially just from facebook.[/quote]

+1. Much easier to post on FB re trips and events than it is re savings, investments, 401ks or college funding. I'm not saying they're not doing these things, but their priorities might just be different. Maybe it is a matter of enjoying themselves now, while saving minimally with the view of "we have our whole lives to save." The savings rate in this country is pretty low; it has improved with the last recession, but as the job situation improves, I can see the "confidence" and expenditure coming back again. [/quote]
