[quote=Anonymous]DH's family lives in a gorgeous house in a NJ town that is very similar in demographics and housing stock to Chevy Chase MD. DH reminds me that they didn't have that house when they were our age. They lived in that town, but in a much smaller house on the edge of town. They didn't have the cars they have now, they had hand me down cars from their parents. They didn't send DH and his middle sister to privtate school - just the 3rd kid. They didn't stay on the mountain when skiing like we do know, they stayed in FIL's client's house and had to get up extra early to take a shuttle to ski school. They didn't eat at all the fancy restaurants they do now, they bought groceries and the big treat was pizza order night. To the poster who asked about the number of kids the older generation has vs the current - I think it's also important to ask now how do your in laws live now, but how and where were they living when their kids were the same age yours are now.
