re: One of our goals is to make life for our kids better than ours right?

Easier? I dont know that my life could have gotten easier. We were middle income, never had to worry about food or other essentials. Always had a home and parents that loved us. Not alot extra, but that is a pretty easy life.

We are a lot better off financially, but we are hopefully doing the same for our kids, providing a home where they are loved, disciplined, and cared for....but a place they know is their home. Hell, if it all went to shite today, I could go back to my childhood home and be cared for just as when I was a kid.


I think my kids are more educated on opportunities that exist in this world. I am kinda sad that we spend so much time talking about success, which will ultimately mean they probably neve live in Alexandria as their home. But they need to know what the world holds.
