[quote=Anonymous]For some, this may be about choice.  The choice to drink, use drugs and waste money.  The choice to go for a less stressful job.  The choice to follow a passion that is not lucrative.  But for some, it comes down to ability.  Not everyone has the ability to go to college.  Not every person who takes the route of a trade has the ability to move into management or eventually hang a shingle.

When I was growing up, things like ADHD were considered behavior problems and kids, like my younger brothers, who suffered from these conditions were left behind.  Now as older adults, they have jobs, but they never had the opportunities that were available to kids who didn't suffer from special needs.  Now, we do better with kids with special needs, but even with all of the services and accommodations in the world, some kids aren't going to be able to achieve more than a low paying job because they simply lack the ability.

The thing about wealth disparity is that it doesn't have to be a problem within a family.  If you treat everyone with respect and kindness and don't make finances, earnings potential and wealth an issue, there is not a problem to cope with.  As PP says, money isn't everything and money isn't going to buy you happiness.  [/quote]
