[quote=Anonymous]It’s all relative and depends on where you grew up.  We aren’t from here.  DH and I both grew up from drastically different backgrounds but poor compared to now.  We graduated HS in the mid 90s.  Our parents lived paycheck to paycheck.  Mine were immigrants and looking back, quite racist although they didn’t mean it.   I was not allowed to date a black guy in HS and it was a huge deal.

We each knew some people who went to college.  No one had it all paid for.  Many went to community college.  Everyone took loans.  Many had to wait until they were older or go part time.   No one went to ivies or talked about prestige.

We both look at the world now and our parents as so much more open minded and so much financially stable as when we grew up.   The fact that we have 529 plans for our kids to fully fund almost anywhere and we will not qualify for any financial aid makes us proud. They definitely have it better than we did financially in the 90s.  We are open minded with whoever they want to date, races, genders anyone.  [/quote]
