I 100% agree with you. I always laugh on HN when I hear people's rags to riches stories, and then find out their parents are college educated professionals.

In college I was floored by how jaded people's perspectives are - my dad raised a family of 5 on 40k a year. My mom worked occasionally. Somehow, in spite of some of the things I missed out on (camp, peewee football), I feel I came out ahead.
