[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.They may make a lot more than you think 2. They have little savings. 3. Inheritance or a trust. Don't lose sleep over this. If you have a nice cushion, you shouldn't lose any sleep. [/quote] Yup, this. I happen to know that DH and I have a higher HHI than either of my siblings, but we probably live the least extravagantly. In my sister's case, her FIL pays for her kids' private school and will pay for their college. In my brother's, he and his wife are younger and on the upward trajectories of very high-paying professions. None of us have any education debt, but neither of my siblings have much savings. Instead, my siblings both count my parents' money in a way I just can't stomach (and my sister also has a rich FIL). And, honestly, I could probably afford to do the same, but DH and I choose not to do so.[/quote]
