[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I both scrapped and fought our way out of poverty working our asses off to pay for college and grad school. Working our asses off after getting jobs and delaying children until we had economic security (eventually reaching the 1%). We know for a fact that no one is going to hand our kids anything and there are no guarantees for our children--no matter how much money we amass for their future their is no guarantee that circumstances will not change--and they have to be prepared to make their own way. We have been there done that and know that personal drive, pursuit of excellence and work ethic will largely determine the options available to our children. It is up to them to determine what to do with those options. It is up to us to make sure that have the options by not squandering their academic and intellectual gifts.[/quote] +1 well said![/quote]
