"It just seems they want to concentrate on raising kids & working for a living. The nerve. "
Yeah, I think young parents these days focus much less on themselves and more on their kids. It probably makes for a better childhood, but it does tend to squeeze out a lot of Parental time. But I also wince when I see how much housing can cost these days, too - that's can't be good for the "fun budget"
Still ... when they start getting older ... they might just add in a few things.

Yep, the housing market is terrible, especially for young couples starting out. One daughter & her husband are both working, not really hi paying jobs & no kids, but it's all they can do to afford a rental. Breaks my heart to see them struggle, but without being too cliche, they're adults now & have to make their own way. At least I gave them some nice vintage gear, but unfortunately that's about all I can do. Dave

Unless things reverse, the unique position that made America's economy so robust (included in it was a dirt cheap cost of living compared to wages which created a very bubbly economy for spending) is well and truly gone (Well it was gone about 1975 and the rest have been echoes).
We have been saving furniture, and stuff in our basement for over a decade for moments like this, so it felt good for such a long term plan to come to fruition. I am a pack rat, and this is one of the only times this worked in our favor!
