[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was told when I was 20 that I had a trust fund but that it wouldn’t be enough to not work. I also didn’t have access to it until I was 30. Growing up, I honestly thought we were middle class and was taught to value things like hard work, curiosity, learning new things, and being kind.

I ended up pursuing two graduate degrees while interning and trying out different career paths and now have a career I love in an industry that pays well and provides a great deal of flexibility. My husband also works, and we value teaching our kids the importance of giving to society rather than just taking from it.

I might retire early, but I truly like living my life this way and flying under the radar.[/quote]

Exactly.  Our kids don't know, and won't even know until they are older.  They won't access the money until 30 or later, depending on what happens to us.  We don't want them to think they don't need to work, get educated, etc.  They're in college and high school now.[/quote]
