My parents moved from blue collar working class (my dad was in construction and my mother a teacher) to very solidly middle class and they retired upper middle class. They continue to live frugally with an eye toward their elder care needs and a desire to not be “a burden” to the younger generation.

I love this.

That so quaint.  I don’t mean it to be rude. I mean, a couple now _doung exactly _what your parents did will never get such financial security.

I hate how expensive basic life is.  The greatest, silent & boomer generations all advanced.  For our generation it’s big law, real estate investments, trust funds, big tech but the rest are living pay check to pay check.[/quote]

I disagree. You just have to live below your means. Not care if you have as nice a car as other parents. Don’t choose your child’s college based upon USNWR ratings (rather where they get good merit aid).  Don’t vacation in Disneyworld. Hike together. Cook together. It is very achievable if you are not chasing external validation. [/quote]
