Having to work for everything you have is not a burden. It is perfectly natural for nearly all of humanity throughout the ages.
I personally grew up poor and while it would have been nice to not have struggled for things many people take for granted, I probably feel a greater sense of accomplishment than many.
I did count every cent. I worked two jobs before I finally went back to school. My motivation wasn't killed. But I doubt that would have been the case if that effort wasn't going to improve my situation in the slightest.
Of course, I also didn't believe I was entitled to what other people produce, simply for being alive.
