[quote=Anonymous]Not just business, lots of actors and such too. Anyone who feels they live a few years paycheck to paycheck…..I get tired of claims of “Humble beginnings” that include things like: private schooling, small group lessons and tutoring (academic or sports), specialty camps, travel teams, college prep and savings for college. If your parents can pay for or get that for you -even via scholarship etc., - doesn’t seem to be hard scrabble. It’s the narrative the person weaves for him/herself. A single challenge in comparison to peers (e.g., apartment not house, in high COL area) or had to share room with siblings” or didn’t take trips becomes poor or humble beginnings. I am trying to make sure my kids understand that even though we’re not flush with cash, they have loads of resources and their needs are met. [/quote]
