Maybe, but there is a big difference between a 1% and a trustafarian.
Yes and no. Both ARE the 1%, the dreadlocked crowd just pretends they aren't, like DCUM people say they do.
No, it isn't the same. Lots of kids in the 1%, particularly the lower end of the 1%, will have to largely live on what they earn. So, if they want to live a 1% lifestyle, they will need to get a job that pays well. That is very different than a trustafarian who has the luxury to take a random non-profit job or "freelance" while still living a 1% lifestyle.
Anyone in the 1% has a leg up and a decent cushion, e.g. probably going to school loan free, but many of those will have to live on whatever they earn.
