[quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous]My parents both with a 6th grade education who got married in 1957 in Bronx had four kids. My Mom was a SAHM, my Dad worked 60 hour work weeks. We had a rent controlled shithole 750sf rental that was two bedroom. Girls got second small bedroom. Brother and I slept on mattress on living room floor.

All four kids got masters degree and all four multi millionaires. Heck I live in a two million dollar home, have a beach house and a Stay at home wife

You don’t need money to have kids. If anything being poor is a great motivator.

DCUM is weird, look at JD Vance. You might hate him but dude grew up poor as shit. The next prez might be trailor park trash. [/quote]

I grew up just like Vance, and Vance is VP and a Senator solely because he is such a rare case — very few escape the trailer park.

So let’s see, NYC with RENT CONTROL is a huge part of your parents success, and you probably received excellent public education in the 60s (I’m sure you are white) and it’s well documented that Boomers and Early GenX benefitted from the booming 80s and 90s economies and had crazy cheap housing.
