[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think of your family -- your children and grandchildren, and the sacrifices your parents and grandparents made to get you where you are.  What some would call "privilege" (such a silly term) is most often the result of previous generations of a family thinking about future generations of the family.  I spend  over $70k per year on private schools for my two children, max out my investments, but drive an old Toyota.  I'd prefer to leave more for my children and grandchildren (and to teach them to do the same, as my father taught me) than to impress you with a Jaguar or Rolex.  [/quote]

Well let me see. My parents did make a good life for me but there was/is no wealth to pass on because their parents who worked hard and did their best did not inherit any wealth because their parents were sharecroppers who didn't inherit any wealth because their parents were slaves and their parents were slaves and their parents were slaves....

So from [i]slaves[/i] to [i]sharecroppers[/i] to a [i]good life[/i] for you.  PP, you're making my point for me.   Every family starts somewhere; the key is for each generation to push the next generation to do even better.  [/quote]
