My girlfriend's family could be the cover illustration for this thread.
Her mother and father raised four kids on one income. He was a blue collar factory worker and she was a stay-at-home mom. They lived in a 1200 square foot home and had one car. The kids all made good grades, had friends, were involved in sports and went to college. Now they have all moved away and are in their forties. One's a doctor, one's a nurse, one's an accountant and the youngest is in the construction business. To my knowledge, nobody ever had a criminal charge, nobody drinks (too much), nobody is on drugs and everybody has grandkids who are also doing great.
And Mom and Dad still live in their little house in Cudahy and they still share their one car.
