Bob, I would say that is the norm, not a system that is imposed. If a  
young man works, saves, and buys a cheap vehicle, if he keeps his  
zipper zipped, if he chooses a wife carefully, then they will have a  
paid-for car and a very modest house with very modest payments before  
they have children.

Personal financial security comes less from how much you make than  
from how much you spend, and on what.
