[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because working sucks for the vast majority of people so why would anyone want to force their family into working if they don't have to?

Is this a serious question? Is there really anyone out there so stupid they can't figure out this incredibly obvious answer?[/quote]

This.  It's really this simple.  If you can free your kids from wage slavery just to survive then you can open doors to more opportunities for them, and you can have healthier and happier family spending time together vs. grinding and being stressed trying to make the ends meet.  Some kids are even motivated to work to feel independent and to feel like they accomplish something themselves, which is a very different attitude than a poor kid who has to work and hates every day of it.

There is a fear that a child who knows they don't have to grind will always take a road of less friction and would avoid doing anything.  It's a real thing, and I observed it with some of the kids of the wealthy people. But I also observed this in middle class families who don't have any wealth to leave to their kids.  It's really a toss up.  Obviously, your kid will be better off if you have the wealth to support them should they fail and hope they get on their feet or get more serious.  If you are a broke family, then your deadbeat kid may have a high chance ending on skid row or stealing from you.  It's simply better overall if your deadbeat kid can go to a rehab or get a hook up to work some cushy part time job in a non profit  :lol:  [/quote]
