My S has a stable job with good employer and excellent benefits. He’s an excellent saver and lives well below his means so we think he will be financially very comfortable. He has gotten his job to have him doing things he enjoys and is good at: flying drones, wearable tech, robotics and project management. He has saved an impressive amount in retirement and regular investment accounts. He enjoys travel, especially with great deals and has a nice work/life balance.
D on the other hand continues to struggle with chronic health issues but is otherwise happy and lives fairly frugally on our disbursements. If she could become self-supporting, it would be nice, but otherwise we can comfortably support her for life. Her bachelor’s degree complements her interest and talents. She is happy and has a very nice and supportive friend group. She has never held a full-time job but is able to manage her finances well and helps me with graphic arts and is a great sounding board for family and friends.
