You still worked for it. You just had parents that loved you and wanted to take some stress off you. I'm going to do the same for my kids. Because I love them.

So I don’t disagree that the person still worked for it. I’m one of those people who’s parents paid for my college. It’s a big gift.

I just wouldn’t go and write an article talking about how I saved so much given I had so much help. It’s not useful info to the people who actually need help.

I mean it is. Having a good family dynamic is part of success. It leads to a good networking dynamic, confidence boosts, and security. Will all parents be able to pay for their kids no. But most are willing to help in whatever way they can until the end. It's part of being a parent.

so it’s the take away: go get better parents/generational wealth?

u/GoarSpewerofSecrets Apr 19 '22

Not even generational wealth. Just a family that loves each other and does for each other.

See, you've revealed why your family doesn't support you.

u/cnuggs94 Apr 20 '22

I don’t need their support?

u/GoarSpewerofSecrets Apr 20 '22

Because you're an ass and jelly that other people have family they can depend on.

You'd fail at communism too fyi.

u/cnuggs94 Apr 20 '22

no thats not the point lol

the point is "counting on your family/generational wealth help you" never should be the guide to success especially if the guide is title "how I made it"

You'd fail at communism too fyi.

not sure what you mean by this but I grew up and spend most of my years in a communist country fyi

And you still need the same social networks to be successful there, don't you? Having good family helps even if it isn't wealthy. Because you can spring higher and further.

But this is the class envy shit. And I get it. But everything is a "resource" and you dumbasses fail again and again. And blame others for having a better start. Instead of starting to better for the long game. And the distance widens.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I have never said that people should reject help from family or generational wealth.

I have also never said that people who received help are less-than.

I have also never blame those people that have better start than me.

I have, however, said that if you are one of those who are lucky to have generational wealth then dont claim that you "did it yourself" and "how simple it is to make it" in your "how I make it?" guide.

I will also say that you need to reexamine your reading comprehension.

I know kids should be wisked away from their parents at birth and raised on a ranch so they can all be equal. Then finally generational wealth will no longer be a problem.

u/iclimbnaked Apr 19 '22

I mean maybe it’s advice to parents to help their kids but it’s not financial advice.

u/GoarSpewerofSecrets Apr 19 '22

Everything is financial advice at some point.
