[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t worry about private school and horseback riding. 
I worry about the future my kids are inheriting and whether I’d be able to help them with things like:avoiding student loan debt, down payment on a house, wedding, sustaining them through periods of unemployment, health crisis or other struggle in a world where everything costs twice as much and salaries are stagnant.

As a millennial these things were already harder than my parents’ generation, who could do things like pay for law school on their summer associate salary alone and graduate debt free. We didn’t take fancy European vacations growing up but I depended on their generosity a lot more than I like to admit as an emerging adult. I worry I won’t be able to do that for my kids. [/quote]

I admitted to my spouse I feel guilty bringing the kids into their world with our downward mobility and debt. We won't have the resources to support them at all past a certain age and they won't have the opportunities we had. [/quote]
