[quote=Anonymous]I think the teen years can be very challenging; don't be bullied into spending/doing things you don't want to do so you won't be resentful. I have two grown children, who were indeed very expensive to raise (many expensive activities, hobbies, sports, college, weddings, and help with their DP's on their homes). But much of that was our choice to give them the best experiences we could on our MC/UMC incomes. Our lives have been more interesting, exciting, and happier because of them. There are times when I wish there were children, but at the time, we had our hands full financially and otherwise. Both "launched" according to plan, married, are productive members of society. Will they "take care" of me in my old age? Possibly if there is a need, but they are paying taxes, adding to the SS fund, and having children of their own who are a joy to spend time with. For now, that's enough of a reward. [/quote]
