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

I hate to sound judgemental, but if that's not the case you're doing something wrong. Your offspring should exceed what you've earned, not 10 out of 10 times, but by and large, one should earn more than their parents.

You mean literally? Or bringing inflation into account?

Because if you mean the latter, that is fricking stupid.

Wealthy parents give their children more time to "find their career" or "find their passion". My dad is very proud of the fact he could provide for me and I didn't have to be stuck in a career I hated and could try a couple different jobs before I found one I could form into a career I enjoyed.

And its a totally different career. Screw being a corporate litigation attorney like he is

So if two parents are both hugely successful doctors, you're saying their kids should 10/10 times be making more money than them when they were the kid's age? That's so absurd. There are so many variables in life.
