[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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[b] well documented that Boomers and Early GenX benefitted from the booming 80s and 90s economies and had crazy cheap housing[/b].

Well, if the kids had a 1500 plus SATs and were black, I have no doubt they could become millionaires.

Yes, let’s see if 2 parents with a 6th grade education getting married today and having 4 kids would produce adult children millionaires.[/quote][/quote]
