[quote=Anonymous]I had similar thoughts this morning for some reason. My husband came here as a teenager due to turmoil in his home country and he is an extreme saver. I grew up regular middle class which meant my parents took a second mortgage so that I could go to college and I had a lot of student loans. We've lived very frugally so that we could send our kids to college and it has stuck even as our incomes rose (not quite as high as the OP.) Fwiw I vacillate between feeling immense guilt that some of my kids' friends are new Americans with a lot of burdens and few resources and immense guilt because we've been too frugal to give our kids the trips and frills that most UMC kids have (trips, cars, whatever.)[/quote]
