[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMC kids are not rich. Rich kids can be lazy. The reason you are upper middle class is because you do not have generational wealth.

DH is a specialized surgeon and [b]earns ~$1.5m. [/b]I always tell our kids they have to work hard because [b]we are UMC[/b]. We can provide them a good childhood and pay for their college and education but they have to work to support themselves and provide a good life for their future families.

We will be able to pay for college, grad school, wedding and a down payment on their house. Maybe their kids’ educations. They will not be trust fund babies who can afford not to work.[/quote]

I believe it. If you do t want your kids to have to work a day in their lives, you need to be able to give them 10-20 million in their twenties.[/quote]

WHY would you want your kids to not to have to work???  That seems like a recipe for complete disaster.[/quote]

Maybe your kid wants to be a teacher, but you want them to be able to live in the neighborhood they grew up in (or something equivalent) and to be able to send their kids to the camps that they went to and the kind of vacations that your took them on and to the caliber of college that they went to. Most would argue that there is nothing wrong with being a teacher, but absent a trust fund or a rich spouse, that kid isn't providing the same lifestyle to your grandkids that you provided for them. Some people would like to give their kids enough so that the grandkids can enjoy those things [/quote]
