[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 41, my kids are 17 and 15.

I have friends just starting to have kids. That would suck.
We are young and healthy, I'm a few years we can travel WHILE STILL HEALTHY. 
No medications or canes needed.
 Hopefully we can do this for 20 years or more. Yeah, we are lucky and smart.[/quote]

don't know about that

We have a nice house on two acres with a pool. Both of us (50 and 54) are very healthy - no meds unless you count Vit. D.

couldn't give our kids 20 years ago what we can today

We have pensions and significant investments, as well as college plans with two years paid off for our oldest.  Plus, my 80 yo mom is still going at it and stepping in to help with the kids. When I retire in 10 years, I'll be able to consult FT. My husband is retiring in 4 years, which is when our younger one will be a teen.  And that's when they need you the most.

I'm home from work by 3:45 - with plenty of time to meet the bus for my younger one.  My older one is home by 3:20.

We travel b/c we can - but don't take extravagant vacations just yet, as that's lost on younger children.

So you can brag all you want, but I lived my life as a "younger" woman and I'm living my life now - but with more stability for my own children and many more opportunities to share with them.

As long as you have your health, you have everything.  My aunt died at 38, leaving 5 girls.  I hardly envy her.[/quote]
