[quote=Anonymous]I grew up with more money than I have for my family, (see the recent NYT article about the first downwardly mobile generation, its an interesting read). My parents were the first in their families to go to college and lead an upper middle class lifestyle. Despite being a college grad myself, my family of 4 lives on about $65-75k a year. Sometimes I wish I could spend more frivolously on eating out or buying my kids toys or technology. But in my case I am providing them with something I never had despite the money, which is parental presence after school, at dinner, and on weekends. A safe home free of domestic violence, and an absence of alcohol abuse. Despite being lower income, were winning at what matters to me. [/quote]
