As Erika has said, the life you’ve lived has been very important and valuable to teach you a lot of real world lessons that many people in society today don’t experience and don’t understand. I think it’s very important to have undergone these things because they help us appreciate and shape ourselves for the future. You know what it’s like to be hungry and have nothing while people who have everything, when left to their own devices, can’t handle it and end up in a worse scenario and often die because of it.
The important part about it all is to try and do the best we can to raise our children one day. If we can manage to work hard and also be successful but not have spoiled asshole children that don’t appreciate the worth of money, then I think we are far more important and successful in life than most of the rich people because we don’t let the situation get to our heads and ruin us.
