[quote=Anonymous]Dad was a plumber and mom didn't work. They built a home in what has since become a small new england city in a NYC burb by purchasing farmland. Yes, small sq footage. 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a living room and kitchen. DHs parents were a car factory worker and a school office worker who only worked part time sometimes.No college. They purchased a home in NJ. Yes, also small, similar size to my own until converted the garage to more finished Sq footage. Sent two kids to college, albeit with loans. They are now retired with a paid off house and travel several times per year. DH and I live in slightly larger home now, both of us work full time. It was never worth it for me to quit for childcare, like we would have lost money though I was only earning 50k back then. We will retire years later than DHs parents. [/quote]
