[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That thread is depressing. Neither DH or myself come from means and we definitely will not be fully funding our children’s education. We hope to able to help with larger expenses but without generational wealth it’s hard to imagine gifting our kids thousands of dollars for weddings, down payments, etc.[/quote] I’m with you. My income is modest (under 100k, not DCUM modest), and my child has extensive mental health needs, and I spend most of my time fighting with my child’s father - dad loves taking me to court. The pp who said raising kids costs “all your money” wasn’t kidding. I’m ready for my kid to grow up and move out (we’re on a longer timeline than 18 though because of the mental illness). I plan to be fine during retirement, but I don’t intend for my child to inherit much. Right now, motherhood has stolen all my joy and happiness. I’m doing my best to keep it together for my kid, but it’s really hard. [/quote]
