Stop relying on your family to set you up. My parents are successful but they raised their kids to do the same and we all have.
It's not about relying.
It's about being able to give the next generation the foundation they need to excel.
There is a big arse difference between just giving a child something and giving them the opportunities to be the best that they can be. And realistically, you CAN'T do that without compromising something unless you were given that yourself.
Even of the only thing that money bought was financial security and stability.
I didn't realize silver spoon babies extended even that far down the income chain.

my parents have given me a lot in my life, but this is the underlying principle behind it all. as I've entered my adult life, they've never given me anything that they don't expect a return of off. they see what the give me as an investment in my future, not just a hand out. they will be there to help me, but more as a boot than a crutch if you know what I mean.
