I think Baby Boomer values are anathema.
Sure, I'm all for hard work, but that's about where our similarities end.
Here's the reality for life in 2012:
Homeschool your children. Make sure your children know the material, because your homeschool "diploma" might not carry much weight with some.
College is NOT a guarantee of a lifetime income stream. One must be able to deliver actual WORK, not just be a cog in some company. Since you are doing actual WORK, why not do it for your own company? If you can't do it for your own company, you're probably not doing actual work!
Instead of expensive college, try apprenticeships, trade schools, or learning on your own. Being able to "deliver the goods" is much more important than having a piece of paper (=degree).
Above all else, avoid debt! The modern economy requires this. That goes for mortgages, car payments, student loans, and credit card debt. Do without, or get creative, to achieve this end.
Who cares if Ward Cleaver wouldn't have done it? This isn't the 1950s!
When you get married, buy a house if you can afford it, but don't buy too much house. Also, buy some land -- it will be necessary going forward. And when the children come along, find a good midwife. Modern obstetricians have NO CLUE how to deliver babies -- the 35% C-section rate says it all!
Avoid most vaccinations. They are unnecessary, often don't work, there are WAY too many of them compared to the 1980s, many use aborted fetal cells, and many contain cancer cells, heavy metals, etc.
Moreover, they are often given in "cocktails" which were untested (they test each vaccine separately, but not as a "cocktail") and they give them to babies and children who are too young for them.
And above all else, do your best to NOT care what the messed-up modern world thinks of you, which is insane on both a natural AND a supernatural level.
And so forth.
