Honestly, we didn’t give much thought to our kids’ post grad lifestyle, but hoped it would be comfortable enough. It was and is. S has chosen to develop a hobby that adds to his income because he likes having nice things in his life and is willing to put in extra time and energy to earn more.
I didn’t expect to be as comfortable as a new college grad or professional as my folks. My dad was in his prime earning years – why should I have had the same things decades before he had them?
