    I absolutely agree. Although my parents weren’t that well off, they made it work with the little they had and gave me the best that they could. It included a lot of what you stated, just not the golf clubs or boats. We did a lot and I made a lot of friends through the years and it was very fun. I even had a blast when I got out of school and found some financial freedom to do a lot for a bit. As I got older things started getting tighter and at this point I feel the same as you do. I can’t afford anything and I’m stuck where I am. I feel bad since I have 2 kids and feel like I do them a disservice not being able to give them what I had.
