Minimum?

3 bedroom bungalow with small yard - reasonable furnishings - probably used.
2 working economical cars
1 TV in the family room
1 computer
Everything in the house works.
Enough money to put a little into savings.

I suspect the Zings will do much better than this, but this describes, I think, a modestly successful family.

Others of their generation may not fare so well. We are headed into a global economy. Unless that changes, our kids will be in competition with Indians, Koreans, and Chinese that can work for much cheaper.
