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

My wife and I are leaps and bounds over our parents. We make more than what our four parents made combined. I'm 25, she is 24.

We were able to do this though, because they busted their arse to give us the opportunity to go to school and get an education.

Sidenote, her dad is a maritime service manager for rolls-Royce now and makes great money (he's 50ish) and my dad retired making silly money working for Schlumberger for 30 years (he is 60 now).
