Re: experiences vs possessions. You will have a fair amount of both in life, so you can't give up one entirely for the other. BUT as far as what you choose to do with your disposable income, the memories of adventures and time shared with people you enjoy will stay with you longer, and make you happier, than things you buy.

The Pill may not have fulfilled all its hopes, but it sure made a difference in the size of families. In my experience, it seems that everyone older than me has seven to ten siblings, and everyone younger comes from a family of two or three children (with some exceptions of course). If a person my age is the youngest of the family, he or she often has many older siblings. If a person my age is the oldest, he or she usually only has one or two younger siblings. The Pill gave women the power to decide how many children they birthed.
Could be she's not from England. The NPR story says they moved to the US, so maybe they moved to Mom's homeland. Or possibly she Americanized faster. Who knows?
