This nails what I see all around me. I am one of the lucky ones that made it. I came from a dysfunctional family. As a kid you do not realize that.
Good parenting is one of the most important factors of having successful kids. I have to agree. I am particularly sensitive to this issue since I had no guidance or help when young.
I also have a feeling that many of us on these forums are exceptions...for me it was sink or swim since no one was around to catch my fall. That's why I saved, learned about investing and wriggled my way into a responsible job. I am comfortably retired, now.
