re: #112 HappyWarrior

It’s amazing how many people love to posture like they were poor and climbed out all on their own, but then if you poke a little it turns out they weren’t ever what any reasonable person would call poor and had massive family help. Family connections getting jobs, family money paying for car, for college, for wedding, for house. There’s no shame in taking family help that is generously given. But to then turn around and scorn people who didn’t have help— or worse, had to support parents or siblings themselves instead of the other way around— is disgusting.
