My goal (having two toddlers) is to have them own a business and a home, however humble, before they leave high school. Full independence, born of their own hard work. Creative inexpensive options abound. Looking back, I see I had such opportunities, and even considered them, but for whatever reason didn’t quite go there; mine will have that opportunity.

You will probably end up with two kids who have more than enough before they are in their twenties and will be six steps ahead of their peers and six steps ahead of people who are older. If you teach them the right skills, send them to a good training schools and with all that, you will end up lucky enough to enjoy true peace of mind.
