Better off than my parent at my age now?

I would have to say a definite yes!!!! Because they are uneducated. blue collar worker and really didn't make the right choices over the years! Always paying yesterday's bill instead of saving for the future.

it's been a really hard life for them....I commend them for their hardwork but, can't  feel a little sorry for them that they could have had so much more out of life had they planned it right.

Jul. 4, 2007 at 1:07 PM Girl yes!!! My mom was a single mom and she was raising 3 children by herself.  I am the baby and she had me when she was 24.  She went to college, but she had to drop out her last year.  So she didn't get her degree, but she did work as a STNA for many years.  Me, I have an Diploma in Medical Assisting, an Associate degree in Mental Health and I am working on a Bachelors degree in Social Work.  However, I have to give my mom the credit for where I am today.  :)
