[quote=Anonymous]Haven't read all the posts, but have a few thoughts to throw out. I think in some cases there is a cultural aspect to it. My parents did not come from any wealth, but in our culture we look out for family and you make sacrifices so you can help make life easier for the next generation. They both inherited some money even though there wasn't much money growing up. Their parents saved and even invested to make sure something was left for them to buffer against any adversity that might come their way.

My parents have chipped in for things like speech therapy when the cost of out of pocket iuntervention was too much. We save money on a lot of things so we can one day put our children through college and hopefully provide them with some buffer help when we are alive and when we pass.

I don't know much about Greek culture, but I do have a friend who is Greek who's parents bought them a home so they could be close by and it is nice to have all the generations together.

Something to keep in mind..sometimes families help out so a mother can do the work of SAHM when there is a child with illness or disability.

Yes, sometimes people get really lucky, but I do think everyone will face their knocks one way or another and if everything has been handed to you the fall can be a lot harder.
