ETA: I say this as someone who was born into a well-off family and never had to worry about a thing growing up. My education, my car, my health, etc., that was all taken care of by mom and dad. I didn't even have to pay tuition for undergrad or grad school. Yeah, I'm a good worker (not a particularly great one) and ambitious enough to succeed, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend that if I were born to a single mother in the Lower Ninth Ward my story would turn out just as well. I owe a lot of who I am to my family and my environment growing up, things which are entirely out of my control.
So you, as a trust fund baby, have no idea what it takes to come from nothing and build wealth. You're just a self righteous elitist hack who feels guilty about the silver spoon up his arse. Shut the frick up.

I wasn't born into poverty, but when my parents couldn't pay for college I joined the damn army and made it out of school with less than $25,000 in debt, which is already paid off. There are ways to get an education if you can't afford it, all you have to do is want it badly enough.
