Indeed. The only one I've seen doing well with a family made the money before having kids (building a software company then selling it to Microsoft), donated a lot to effective charities, got an average sized house in a walkable college town, and became a calculus/computer science teacher at a charter school. He follows attachment parenting techniques with his wife, with the only tv the kids see being one movie per month, watched as a family. The kids go to an alternative school with similar values to how their parents are raising them. There's an abundance of knowledge and affection at home, but not so much material/electronic stimulation.
