[quote=Anonymous]Two things - 
First, DH and I are frugal.  DH is entirely self made and we haven't taken a dime from my parents for anything. DH's parents were poor,  and mine, well, they worked hard, got lucky and were awesome parents.  They gave me college and a beautiful childhood.  For that I am wealthy beyond measure.  BUT....
Second, I wouldn't trade my neighbors and parents of kids who rely on grandparents for down payments and school tuition. Those people are the invaluable teachers, artists, designers, public servants and non-profit workers.  They are interesting, add color to our world and I am absolutely grateful that their parents raised them and support them to live in and enrich our community.  It would be so bland and workaday without them.  So, here's to the wealthy grandparents who raised awesome kids and whose kids are giving back ... thank you!

OP, I wish you well but unless you had a miserable childhood (and you may have, and if that is the case, I am really sorry) I think you have it backwards here. [/quote]
