[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked around 8:15 am to 630 pm for 30 years. It is not a long day. I was taking 704 am in every day and catching the last express train at 649pm. Guess what had dinner with my family at 7pm, helped get kids ready for bed, had time with wife from 830 pm to around 1030 pm, got up and helped kids get ready for bus. First 15 minutes or so at work had my coffee, bagel, read the news online. Took an hour lunch every day or ran errands at lunch that hour. I never worked weekends, had holidays. Not exactly the end of the world. If anything I miss it. [/quote] Good grief. Read the room. I'm guessing your wife SAH and cooked and cleaned in heels and pearls. You probably bought a house for practically nothing and now it's worth over a million $. It's 2024. For most people, two incomes are needed to survive now. We can't buy homes. We're limiting children to two maybe one because it's too expensive to have any more. The cost of college is ASTRONOMICAL. Give me a HUGE effin break.[/quote] Believe it or not even in 2024 if one spouse devotes effort to work they usually more than dual income and with no childcare costs. Pretty easy to make 350K to 450K if one spouse works. And saving for a house is WAY WAY easier today than ever. The stock market is up like 100 percent in last four years and RSUs and grants are way up. Even CDs and money markets are way up. And people way richer. [b]Kids are starting at 120K fresh out of school. [/b]My daughter who is 24 her friend makes 100K and she four girls share a three bedroom, larger room split by two girls. They have a household income of 400K at 24. [/quote] A very, very small percentage start out this high. $50-70K is much more likely.[/quote]
