I am guessing that every one of the things that she had that her “peers” did not were easily affordable to the families of her peers.
Used books can usually be found at flea markets for a few cents.
It cost nothing for a parent to tell you they love you.
Used computers (one of the things frequently cited by these crybabies) can be had for less than two hundred dollars and frequently can be had for the asking from friends and relatives. They can usually be used for free at libraries.
I get really tired of people trying to make me feel guilty for advantages that my parents gave me by the sweat of their brow or I earned myself.
If others did not work as hard or had other priorities in life that is no reflection on my parents or myself. My parents got nothing because of their race and definitely not because of their religion other than good morals which does lead to better outcomes in life.
Exactly. Save for an extreme few, there are no poor in America. (And yes let’s help - voluntarily - those very few.) Anyone making more than the world median income, about $2/day, is not poor. Libraries provide near endless knowledge for free, computers included. From that you can learn anything, and become anything, you truly want to be (and by “want” I mean you actually are acting to achieve it). Love is free to give and cherish.
The problem isn’t money and stuff, it’s giving a dang enough to care for your own and show them how to survive on whatever they’re given, however little.
