[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You make more than 95% of the people here, and probably more than 90% of the people on DCUM.

So shut up. You're part of the problem.[/quote]

Op - isn’t the hope that our kids do better than we do?

I know dh and I have done significantly better than our own parents. [/quote]

PP you replied to. I am worth 15M in my 40s. I do not go about wringing my hands like you, even though one of my kids has special needs, and we are establishing a trust fund for them. You are tone deaf, and this is why I am admonishing you.

Come on, OP. You're better than this. Children are not guaranteed the successes of their parents. Generational wealth goes a long way to mitigate risks for the next generation. Instead of competing stupidly in things that don't matter... think how you're going to transmit wealth and teach your kids how to manage it. They will need be taught how not to be greedy, how to be patient instead of impulsive, how to play the long game, how to hedge their bets. They will need to build on whatever cognitive skills have been handed down to them, and apply themselves with decent work ethic to respectable careers, no matter what fortunes you transmit, even at an early age.

Ask yourself the right questions, instead of faux-complaining about a competition your kids may or may not need to be part of.[/quote]

This is one of the smartest things I’ve seen written on dcum in a long time.[/quote]
