My parents got divorced when my dad was around my current age. Before that, even with a 2 income family we weren't doing real well. After that, we were really poor for awhile living with my mom and my dad doing some but not nearly enough in child support.
I feel my kids have it made. We are not rich or even high middle class by any means, but we are doing alright. They have a lot of advantages that I didn't. Both of my boys (19 & 22) seem to be doing okay in their young, independent, financial lives. They both are hard workers and that makes me proud as a parent. My daughter is only 13 so we will see how that goes.
