[quote=Anonymous]Good post!

[quote=anonymous]I won't say that everyone in the lower class or living in poverty is lazy, but there is strong correlation between this demographic segment, and behaviors such as laziness, lack of focus on education, and poor life choices in general. [/quote]

This is absolutely true, especially the poor life choices part.  These are the folks having tons of kids and then looking for handouts when they can't afford to feed and clothe them all.

[quote=anonymous]On the flip side, some of the generational money I see are not hard working. They may have a nice degree from a nice school, but they don't use it. They travel a lot, drink a lot of wine, attend a lot of social functions, charity events, art exhibitions, etc. These people are not middle class and would fall into poverty if you isolate them from their wealth. [/quote]

Also true.  I have always thought that this is due to a lot of the folks in this situation not being hungry enough.  They grew up with everything they could possibly want and never had to work for anything and they know they have it made inheritance-wise so they simply lack the fire that your parents and other truly middle class people have.[/quote]
