re: Are you as wealthy as your parents were at your age ?

I make more money adjusted for inflation, but my grandfather gave them 20G's towards the purchase of their home which was 40k in the early 70's. So their house note for 20 years was like $150/month. Mine is 9X that much for 30 years And my house is smaller. My Dad was a college professor with simple tastes, so he retired early with a pension that pays almost as much as he made in salary.
