[quote=Anonymous]I'm an attorney in DC and I make maybe $15K per year more than my brother who is a pipefitter in the rural midwest. He and his wife have a brand-new home, brand-new vehicles, horses and a boat. We are probably saving about the same in retirement. My money goes to daycare and payments on a 60-year old house that is not updated and on which I did not put 20% down. Neither of us have significant amounts saved for our children's education. I think this is a total hamster wheel. I likely will be better off financially in the end, but he will have had more time to live his life and in a nicer home.[/quote]
