Will you be more or less wealthy than your parents?

Given the current economic outlook, I believe that I will be less wealthy than my parents. Both of my parents had opportunities during the 80s and 90s that I truly can't even dream of. They were both able to attain management positions in different companies, bought a very nice house on a big piece of land, always had two nice cars, put their kids through college, etc.

I'm happy with my life, but I don't think I'll ever be able to accomplish the things that they did, the money just isn't there and short of magically getting a job over some elite Harvard guy it never will be. This is despite the fact that I'm just as educated as my parents are. I would say that the outlook for middle-class people like me is fairly grim.

Hard to say at this time.

Since I'm never going to be a jet setting executive, less wealthy. Much so...until it becomes mine that is.

Ideally I will be more wealthy than my mother, who made just enough to get by. I'd like to live without ever having to worry about not being able to pay my bills. But whether that will actually happen is yet to be seen.

Almost certainly less. My dad's a mechanical engineer and my mom's a university professor. My chosen career field is not exactly high paying, but I'm certainly not in it for the money. However, my wife is well on track to being a radiologist, so perhaps I'll just bask in her reflected glory. And money.

I've already surpassed my parents in wealth. I now have to reach unprecedented levels of wealth and power.

Definitely less :x

My dad has an exorbitant amount of wealth

Significantly wealthier than both of them combined. Granted, that's not saying too much, but I do plan to be rather well off by the time I am their age.

Hopefully more wealthy than they are, I want to be able to pay for my kids college if they don't have the funding for it right away.
