[quote=Anonymous]As a couple of teachers, we’re the poorest family among our friends, and I know we are not poor. We’re fortunate. No country club membership. No vacation houses. No extravagances. Our kids work every summer and save spending money for college. We’ve put away enough for college tuition but not for our own retirement. Our kids apply only to state schools because we participate in DC TAG. We need a new car and our house needs a new coat of paint. Are we unhappy? No. We get invited places, and we enjoy almost any opportunity. Our kids are grateful for what they have, and they are considerate of others, especially their parents. They look out for each other. I’ve made many mistakes. Raising children on a modest income isn’t one of them. Many times we have wanted those things that only more money can bring. We’ve felt disappointment, resentment until we’ve been reminded of what happens to people when they get everything they want. [/quote]
