[QUOTE="rod, post: 1059509, member: 5382"] We lived comfortably in a modest home. The kids (or should I say we) never got into the "must buy the lastest fashion thing" although we did buy them top name atletic shoes and jeans and stuff like that for B-days and Christmas. We paid for their 1st vehical (used ) and we paid for their car insurance [B]if[/B] they were on the honor roll. (its surprising how quick they could buckle down once they found out what insurance costs). I was lucky enough to be married to a great wife who absolutely hates to shop and didn't play that "keeping up with the Jones" thing. Our daughter got her 4 year degree from the University of Wisconsin- Madison which she paid for for the most part by working while going to school. The wife quit work for 7 years when the kids were little (I know--that isn't what you call quit working) but other than that she toiled away at an 8 to 5 job for years. When I pulled the plug at UPS--- thanks to our tucking a few bucks away, the UPS Thrift Plan and finally UPS opening up their precious stock to us peons and some smart advice from our financial advisor, we had about $450,000 socked away.
