[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not so sure that people who inherit or are gifted these large sums of money are lucky.  One of the best feelings of my life was when my husband and I bought our home on our own with money we worked hard for.  There's nothing like earning your own success.[/quote]

We don't accept gifts from family, but I don't think I'd feel the way you do about "success" in paying our own way.  We have earned the money for our home, our kids schooling, and a nice life style.  I've never thought of those as indicators of success, though. Sure we've worked hard, but lots of people do.  We chose to spend a fair amount of our time in high paying jobs, that's all.  The jobs in which I have felt the most "successful" have also been those in which I was paid the least.  If I can help my kids to do whatever they want with their careers, I'd love to be able to provide them with enough money not to have to worry about their compensation.   [/quote]

Sure, but when you grow up in poverty, making money seems pretty important.  Earning our way out of generational poverty makes us feel successful.  Not going to apologize for that.  I would love to not have to worry about compensation but we have no safety net other than the one we create for ourselves.[/quote]
