[quote=Anonymous]It's a little more complicated than OP is making it seem. I was born to married parents, with a single wage earner who had a steady middle class income. I was "born on third" in terms of being born white, in the US and to middle class married parents. Married myself, and to another person similarly lucky. All big advantages. But I have worked my ass off in my chosen field for over 30 years, working full time the entire time I raised children, and I've made smart choices. Yes, of course I've had a lot of luck in terms of jobs and market fluctuations, etc. But I didn't spend every dime I made, I learned about basic investing and never lost sight of my goals. So - you can have many advantages and blow them, or you can maximize them by a lot of luck and working hard, delaying gratification.[/quote]
