Grew up poor, doing well financially now.

It’s true that poverty is self fulfilling but economic success isn’t everything either.

You can be poor and happy (and good).

You can be wealthy and miserable (and immoral).

I’m not saying stress is good or that people should have to struggle, but you make it sound as if misery is a foregone conclusion for those raised in lower socio-economic conditions.
