[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father was a pretty renowned and successful doctor in the city where we grew up but we never lived in the wealthiest neighborhoods nor did he own any luxury cars because he basically put all his money into savings and me and my brother's education.  Turning the clock several years forward, he was able to fully fund my and my brothers grad school education (law and medicine) and put down a healthy portion of the down payment for our houses for which we are eternally grateful.  So the moral of the story, different priorities different lives. I'm sure he could have splurged more during his money earning years but I'm more than certain he wouldn't have had such a safety net during retirement. [/quote]

Same with us! My Dad was very successful but we never lived in the nicest areas but we live comfortably. They saved a ton and there was never an issue about college costs or medical school as it was always there for us and we graduated with no debt - what a gift! Now they are funding 529's for our kids and have funded bridge loans when we've need them. They now live very well but definitely not what they could but they will never have money problems nor will we thanks to them. [/quote]
