[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was born into a stable, UMC family.  Parents were Ivy grads; paid for my college, professional school, wedding, first car, housing downpayment. 
I am (or was--now almost 50) good looking.  Dated men who would become high earners.  Married one. I don't think I was consciously looking to marry a high earner (honestly I didn't even think to worry about this) but my social circle was basically all people who would become successful professionals. I grew up and lived in a bubble.

I haven't lived a struggle free life (infertility for years, parent passing from brain tumor) but I will say that 95% of my "success in life" is due to luck.  I now live in DC among a very similar crowd and I would say the same thing about my peer group here.  Most were born on second or third base---if not half way down the line to home plate.

Everyone’s parent dies, and it’s better that way because no parent wants to outlive their children.

Unless they passed away when you were a child, I would not list parents death as a struggle. We all go through that, and it’s the best outcome for all. [/quote]
