No, not me. But I did spend $45,000 sending my nieces to college.

My point exactly: One shouldn't "brag" about having had the savvy / self-discipline to amass vast savings without mentioning little extenuating circumstances like, "Never got married," "No kids," or "Was an only child - came into several lucrative inheritances (maiden aunts, gay uncles) in my late 20s."

$45,000 to send the nieces to college? Nice - but only a fraction of what it costs to raise even only a single son or daughter.

Regards,
