[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] In general, I feel sorry for the generations younger than me (I am young Gen X) because of debt, economy, etc. But I just can't believe this 40yo could be an innocent naif for so long. I was a very, very stupid smart person as a youth. I think it took me 2x as long to learn practical life stuff. My parents were not rich or "savvy," but my dad did know which fields I might actually make a living. He was not just thinking of me, but of himself (he probably wasn't going to let me go homeless, but would not be paying for any rents).

I went into the field of my choice anyway. It wasn't such a poor choice, and I have done well, but it also was not NYC, but here in DC. Yeah, I have insisted on living in a city. But the difference is, I made it. I had enough income by 30 and really felt secure by 35. Had I not, I would have readjusted in some way, by moving, changing careers, etc. I would not persist in world's most expensive city, getting ragged mad about other people's supposed trust funds.

The article author bugs me also by her assuming about these other people. Yeah, maybe they got it all handed over, but maybe not! [b]I am close to some adults whose parents are rich, but the parents do NOT believe in helping. They get to enjoy the vacation house but no handouts.[/b] That's another conundrum, but you can't just assume! I mean, stop looking so hard at other people. If you are unhappy, it starts with you.[/quote]

Free vacations IS helping though. You know how much we spend on vacations a year? 50-60k. Yes, that is our choice and you don't have to spend that much but it's good for kids to see the world and build those fond family memories on vacation. We'd spend a hell of a lot less if we had access to a FREE beach house and ski chalet.[/quote]
