The Frugal Girl

FEBRUARY 18, 2024

I’ve been an architect, day-care teacher to toddlers, and library clerk, but am currently a SAHM to a 14yo son and 9yo daughter. The first few years after graduating, I racked up a large credit card debt and bought a new SUV that cost approximately the same as my annual salary. My son is allergic to dairy, wheat, nuts, eggs and peas.

My degree is in mechanical engineering, but I’m just starting a transition to nursing – before I got pregnant with my son, I was working as a nursing assistant while my husband finished grad school, and planning to go on to nursing school. Three years later, she graduated, and my dad decided to do the same.

My son and I are special cases. I did well financially and he is ahead of the game as well – not too awfully far behind salary wise to my other son who obtained a computer engineering 4 year degree from an engineering school. I suspect she makes quite good money – lots more than the $22,700 quoted above.

Daughters and sons of very wealthy families sometimes want to disown the family wealth in order to prove themselves. Providing college money can help cushion that murky time between high school graduation and fully leaving the nest. College graduates have historically been more financially successful than non-college graduates.

Our son is 29 and biological. I learned from the best, but I believe that a personal finance course should be a requirement for both high school and college graduation. Just over the past week, our son replaced the fuel pump and exhaust system on his truck. We consider her our “bonus kid” and our family is extremely close.

I graduated from State U with a liberal arts degree in the early 1970s – when there was a world wide recession followed by stagflation. But, at least I graduated without debt. My son won his 4 year degree in Economics and then was able to get a job as a security guard at a retail store!

My husband and I were graduate students with loans and credit card debt, and we were certain that a higher income would solve all of our problems. Our son was growing, and we knew we wanted to provide him with extracurricular activities that made sense for him — music and sports and scouting.
