   First all some of those successful people   
   never got married(I didn't) so they have income that's   
    their's alone. It's not being used to for spouses and   
   children.   
      
   If I hadn't had to deal with some of the financial issues with   
   elder care I probably would have been one of those people   
   who could have afforded that 400K home.

   I have news for you.... it was clear back in the 1960s that computing   
   would rule that's why I got into it and that's why I've been   
   very successful at it. The internet has simply hastened   
   what was already going on anyhow.

   I'm extremely lucky in that I'll be retired from computing before something   
   like this happens.

   History has already proven that that can happen so that's   
   not really a prediction at all. It's more like an inevitability.

   It makes me wonder why people have kids in the first place.   
   I either see them as incredibly optimistic or fools.
