@talia_christine Counter point. I came from deep poverty. I never wanted to be rich, but I wanted to be secure. The truth is that hard work and a good attitude has elevated me to a place I didn't not expect was possible as a child. I've broken cycles, and sit firmly in the lower middle class.

Am I rich? No, but I know there's a hell of a lot of space between where I was and where I am. Hard work and a good attitude really helped.

The kicker is that I'm disabled due to those choices. 🤷
