Unfortunately, she does work with the wife, and I have to upgrade the house
at times. But my house is only 2450 ft sq and about 6 million less in
value. And I paid my own way through college, but I put both mine though
university. Part of being a parent. If you are going to have kids, you
should be able to afford to raise them. But they both got scholarships to
pay for part of the tab. Nice to have smart kids with good grades in High
School.

Offered to help, she made the decision on her own, for her own
reasons. She has and always will be very independent. Also had great
grades, which helped a lot. We are putting number two through as we
speak, and if number three decides to go... anyway I was kind of
kidding with the post, but I can afford to raise my kids, not to worry.

many to give good personal time to,

The house has some nice views, but it is overdone. New money?

Wow. An entire subdivision of made up of six different overpriced houses
for those with new money and no ability to hire an architect, and on the
California coast, no less. Does the sale include a back-up lot in
Arizona so when the California lot catches on fire or slides into the
Pacific, Mr. and Mrs. Tasteless have a place to park their Winnebago?

Such jealousy rearing its ugly head!

Personally, if I had a choice between 'new money' and 'no money', I'd
probably take the former!

But old money is good for Harry, as he seems to have had one of the more
successful set of parents in the last 60 years. He may not have had to work
for his money.
