You sound like somebody who had an incredibly fortunate childhood and you don't understand anything about people who actually had to work to get where they are.

You claim that your parents didn't support you but they paid your college. It sounds like you got supported a lot.

The people who really had to pull themselves up by their bootstraps are people like me. I quit a full ride scholarship to go back home and get a job to support my father and family after he broke his back at work and it took two years before his disability paid out.

From there I was destitute and I've had to work my way back up to a point where I can afford to pay college out of pocket by myself while also affording all of my other expenses (like purchasing a house, and supporting my own family as an adult.) I've had to make serious sacrifices in my life.

You really should be less judgmental about other people because you sound ignorant when you make those comments.
