my parents did inherit some money for my aunt to pay for 10,000 a year for my college and my sisters college.

they are in no debt whatsoever, except the car payments they make on one car.

my parents don't pay a mortgage. we sold our townhome in queens, new york for 150,000 about 10 years ago and bought a house in rural pa for 100,000 that is much nicer.

i understand. i don't think i'm filthy rich. but at 50k a year that my dad makes, we have not in recent memory felt a financial burden.

my dad thinks that he's rich, because when he was a kid, they had to eat soup 5 nights a week for dinner.

when we first moved to PA, and he was making 18k a year, then times were a little tough. maybe it's because both of my parents grew up poor that they can manage 50k a year so well and we can live so comfortably. i don't know. i have a hard time feeling bad for people who make 100,000 a year is all i'm saying.
