[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are better off because we have a lot less kids and two incomes. Up until the 80's women didn't have many good job opportunities and also they had a lot of kids to care for.

We had much more of a chance to do better and we did. [/quote]

you can't double your income by two people working to say you are better off.

Lets say

Couple A the husband makes 180K and wife is a stay at home mom

Couple B the husband makes 100K and wife makes 100K both work full time.

Who is better off?

BTW my Mom had four kids and 10 grandkids. Her pride and joy. When she died whatever little money she had died with her.  My next door neighbor growing up was rich, had a better house, executive husband and no kids. She always told my Mom she wished she had kids. My Mom who was dead broke always wished she had her money. Who was better?

who knows who was better off in this situation. and better off psychically or better off financially? sounds like the neighbor was better off financially - and we have no idea who was better off psychically. the neighbor might have said that to your mom just to make conversation, for all we know.

i hope your mom's kids helped her out financially, if she was struggling like you say.
