[quote=Anonymous]My dad was the first in his family to get any sort of degree (2 year associates). Mom stayed at home. 3 kids total. We didn't get a lot of new things, my grandparents helped my parents a lot, and vacations (day trip to Sea World for one) were paid for saving coins in a big container. Now DH and I are sitting just shy of $300k, very flexible/awesome jobs/benefits, with an amazing life balance. I'm the first in my family to get a 4 year degree, the only one of my siblings to buy a home without help, and things are really good right now. We're putting a lot towards home reno right now, but I'm very much looking forward to a $20k vacation budget and take DC to see the world! Also we're on track to retire (very comfortably) by age 55.[/quote]
